It is not easy to find out how many calories we consume or how much protein or other nutrients we fill in our body on a daily basis .
But to know how healthy we are there is this BMI - Body Mass Index. which is calculated by dividing one's weight with their height
Hee are the parameters
A BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 suggests a healthy weight range. A BMI of between 25 and 29.9 may indicate overweight and a BMI below 18.5 is considered below weight. n
What's your story. I am on border line of health - fair enough I suppose.

@allknowing - I was considered under weight for many years, but as was very well and healthy, i really did not care.

You can convert your weight into Lbs and height into inches which works out to 27.5 which is overe weight.

I haven’t checked my BMI in quite a while, but if I’m being honest, I already know I’m on the obese side. No need for a calculator to confirm what the mirror and the tight jeans are already hinting at! ??
Still, it’s a good reminder to keep tabs on our health—not just for numbers like BMI, but how we actually feel day to day. Fair enough that you’re on the borderline; at least you’re hovering near the healthy range. I’ve got a bit more hovering (and waddling) to do before I get there!

So true Our clothes do a better job than the BMI I bet. And yes how healthy we feel is yet another way to know if all is well with us overweight notwithstanding1 person likes this

Attend to BMI? What's that? Does it mean you do not believe in it?
