What Is The BMI Calculator??? by muffleitjuhi(f): 10:20am On Aug 27, 2021
Bmi calculator is a way to measure body mass by calculating the ratio between your height and your weight.
Bmi can be used to indicate whether you are overweight, obese or underweight.
Enter your height and weight data then press calculate Bmi.
A score of 20 to 25 indicates your BMI is normal.
A score below 20 means you are underweight.
Scores above 25 you may be overweight or obese.
Is the size of this bmi calculator right for me..
This measure provides an estimate of the state of your body, by knowing the results you will be able to plan your next program.
Unless you are an athlete or bodybuilder with different muscle mass compositions, then this Bmi calculator may not be right for you.
The next way is to use the old benchmark, height minus 110 as the ideal weight.
For example, your height is 170cm, so your ideal weight is 60kg, isn't that too skinny?
Because the majority of our body consists of muscle and fat, the recommended benchmark is to look at your body shape in the mirror, that's the first step you can do,[https://katienicholl.com/][https://katienicholl.com/]
Are you satisfied with your current body shape?, is your stomach still distended?, are your arms still sagging?, that's what you need to see first,
if the answer is yes then you need a program to get rid of your excess fat. just need to take care of it.
Maybe I have the same weight, but a different body shape..
Maybe, try to imagine 1 kg of nails with 1 kg of cotton, how do they compare?
Likewise with your body, for example, currently you weigh 75 kg but your pants don't fit, it's a sign of excess fat, then you exercise for example Fitness,
For 1 month you weigh again, your weight is still 75 kg or more, but your pants fit, that means your fat has been replaced with muscle (your body shape has changed, isn't it?), even though you are at the same weight.
"So it's more important to look at your size than your weight."
In addition to the bmi calculator, another way is to measure your body fat (fat content),
This method is more accurate because in addition to knowing how much your ideal fat is, this method can also be used as an alarm for your body. Usually with a high level of excess fat your body will experience a decrease in fitness level, get sick easily, etc.
What is the normal fat content?
For men, above 30% (excess fat), 15-30% (normal), below 15% (athletic for athletes) less fat for non-athletes.
For women, above 35% (excess fat), 20-35% (normal), below 20% (athletic for athletes) less for non-athletes.
How to measure it..??.
To measure fat, a body fat monitor is needed.

Or a more complete tanita scale.

How to measure fat levels with body fat monitors and scales for women;Remove shoes, electronic devices and metal attached to the body.
Measure your weight on a scale (if you are using a body fat monitor).
Enter personal data (age, height, gender, weight/if you use a body fat monitor).
Grip the sensor with both hands firmly but not too tightly (if you are using a body fat monitor).
Wait until the sensor shows the result number.
Tips..!!
Be sure to check your body fat (your fat content) in as close a body condition as possible, for example;
The morning after defecating and urinating after weighing the body.
Coming home from work, after urinating, in sports clothes.
When using the same conditions, the measurement of changes in fat levels can be detected more accurately, than measuring them in different body conditions.
By combining these three methods ( Bmi calculator , body fat , body measurements ) you may be able to target your ideal weight and start your program.
"Good luck..!!"
