Your Body mass Index (BMI) estimates how much you should
weigh, based on your height. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25. This number
represents the relationship between your height and weight. You can estimate
your BMI by following the steps below.Steps
Example:
Someone who is 150 pounds and 5 feet 6 inches
1. Convert your weight in pounds to kilograms by dividing by
2.2. 150 lbs. ÷ 2.2 = 68.18 kg
2. Convert your height in feet to inches (1 foot = 12
inches). 5 feet 6 inches = 66
in
3. Convert your height to meters: multiply your height in
inches by 2.54. Then divide by 100. 66
in. x 2.54 = 167.64
167.64/100 = 1.68 m
4. Multiply your height (in meters) by itself. 1.68 x 1.68 = 2.82
5. Divide your weight in kilograms
(step 1) by your height squared (step 4). 68.18/2.82 = 24.18
BMI = 24.2
