What is BMI?
BMI is a widely used measurement that takes your weight and divides it by the square of your height. The resulting number indicates a category that your weight falls into: **underweight**, **normal weight**, **overweight**, or **obese**. While BMI doesn't measure body fat directly, it's a reliable indicator for most adults.

BMI Categories Explained
Here’s a general guide to BMI categories for adults:
- **Underweight:** Below 18.5
- **Normal weight:** 18.5 – 24.9
- **Overweight:** 25.0 – 29.9
- **Obese:** 30.0 and above
Keep in mind that BMI is a screening tool and not a diagnostic one. Factors like muscle mass, bone density, and body composition can influence the interpretation of your BMI. For a comprehensive health assessment, always consult with a healthcare professional.
Why Track Your BMI?
Regularly checking your BMI can help you:
- **Monitor your weight:** It provides a consistent metric to track changes over time.
- **Identify potential health risks:** Being in the overweight or obese categories can increase your risk of certain health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
- **Set realistic goals:** It gives you a starting point for discussions with doctors or fitness experts about your health and wellness journey.
