Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMI and why does it matter?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a screening tool that uses height and weight to estimate body fat. It categorizes weight into underweight, normal, overweight, and obese ranges according to WHO guidelines.
What formula is used to calculate BMR?
The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is used: BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age + 5 for males, or -161 for females. It estimates the calories your body burns at complete rest.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?
BMI does not distinguish between muscle and fat, so it may overestimate body fat in athletes and underestimate it in older, less active individuals. Use it as a general guide, not a clinical diagnosis.
Is my personal health data stored anywhere?
No. All calculations run in your browser; no personal health data is ever sent to or stored on a server.
