I always see this BMI calculator at Cali's website without attempting to give it a shot. Well, I finally punched in my height and weight to see what my BMI is.
Body Mass Index (or BMI) is a measure of your weight relative to your height. BMI is a reliable indicator of total body fat, which is related to the risk of disease and death. The score is valid for both men and women but it does have some limits. The limits are it may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build, or it may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle mass.
The BMI score means the following:
Underweight- Below 18.5
Normal - 18.5 to 24.9
Overweight - 25 to 29.9
Obese - Over 30
My BMI Score is 22.2! I am, ahem.. considered Normal - 18.5 to 24.9 . If you are classified as normal, you gotta keep up the good work, maintain a balanced diet and exercise regimen for a long and healthy life.
Hoot! But after taking some really yummy (read: greasy) oyster omelette earlier this evening with my colleagues, I think I am so going to gym this weekend!
