How to calculate your BMI?

The formula to calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) is:

BMI =  Your Weight in kg/ Your hight in m²

With the BMI calculator app you do not have to conduct any calculations by yourself. Only enter your data and get your result.

The outcome can be evaluated according to this classification:

• Less than 18.5 = Underweight
• Between 18.5 – 24.9 = Healthy Weight
• Between 25 – 29.9 = Overweight
• Over 30 = Obese

In 2017-2018 in the USA the prevalence of obesity was 42.4% according to the CDC. This statistic which is already staggeringly high only represents the people who are obese, it does not include the percentage of the population which is overweight. Every year, the percentage of people affected by obesity and overweight is becoming higher and higher due to various factors.

Overweight is becoming more and more critical

Unhealthy food such as fast food, snacks, cereals, and so much more is widely available for affordable prices, and often those products are being heavily marketed by companies like products that are good for you. Cereals are the perfect example in this case. We have all seen advertisements on TV which claims that the best way to start the day is to take a glass of orange juice with a bowl of cereal and an apple. However, cereals are one of the worst you or your kids can have at breakfast since cereals are highly processed food. This means that cereals contain a lot of sugar and refined carbs which is very unhealthy for you and that in the next few hours of eating cereals you will be once again hungry.
