TopToolAIBMI Calculator for Men
BMI calculator for men: enter your weight in kilograms and your height in centimeters to see your Body Mass Index as an adult man, the BMI category it falls in, and the weight range that is healthy for your height. The formula is the same for everyone, but reading it is different for men. Men usually carry more muscle and less body fat than women, so a muscular man can land in the overweight band without carrying extra fat, while a man with a belly can sit in the normal band and still be at risk. That is why this page also shows the WHO waist limits for men, 94 cm for increased risk and 102 cm for substantially increased risk, with a lower limit of about 90 cm usually advised for South Asian men. For example, a man who weighs 80 kg and is 1.78 m tall has a BMI of about 25.2, which is the start of the overweight range (25 to 29.9). A normal BMI for an adult man is 18.5 to 24.9, below 18.5 is underweight and 30 or above is obese. Use it as a quick screening number, then look at your waist, fitness and a doctor's advice.
