Nutrition BMI
Body Mass Index (or Quetelt Index) is a measure that compares a person's weight and height.Though it does not measure body fat, it is a useful estimation. It is based on two easy measures, the height and weight. The BMI = Weight (Kgs) / Height (m) squared.
A Normal BMI is taken as 19-25
Whilst <19 is seen as underweight
>25 is overweight
>30 is obese
There are exceptions, fit muscular people (muscle is denser than fat) e.g rugby players can have a high BMI. Taller people also tend to have a higher BMI, due to the calculation.
If you prefer imperial (feet, inches,pounds) measures go this BMI calculator
