What is BMI?
BMI is a number that tells you if your weight is healthy for your height. It’s not perfect (it doesn’t account for muscle vs. fat), but it’s a good starting point to understand your health. Here’s what the numbers mean:
Under 18.5: Underweight
18.5 – 24.9: Normal weight
25 – 29.9: Overweight
30 and above: Obesity
