BMI LEVELS

In general, a BMI between 20 and 25 is associated with the lowest health risk. A BMI over 27, begins to increase your risks for diseases associated with increased body fat. Exceptions to these rules are from athletes and bodybuilders who are overweight because of increased muscle mass, not fat, as well as pregnant and lactating women. Also keep in mind that the BMI is not intended for children or the elderly. If you are not able to access our Java calculator, check below for a table to find out what your BMI is, or just to see what it should be!

To use this table, find your height in the left hand column, then follow the line over to the right to find your weight in pounds; then move up to the top of the chart to find your BMI.
