Frequently Asked Questions

What is BMI and how is it calculated?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. It provides a rough estimate of whether your weight falls in the underweight, normal, overweight, or obese range for your height.

Is BMI an accurate measure of health?

BMI is a useful screening tool but has limitations. It does not distinguish between muscle and fat, and it does not account for body composition, age, gender, or bone density. Athletes and muscular individuals may have a high BMI despite being healthy.

What is a normal BMI range?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered normal weight. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese. These ranges are guidelines — consult a healthcare provider for a personalized assessment.

Should I use BMI or body fat percentage?

BMI is easier to calculate and useful for general screening. Body fat percentage is more accurate for assessing health risk but requires specialized tools to measure. For a more complete picture, use both alongside ToolPeg's TDEE calculator and macro calculator.
