Use BMR & BMI formula to find your Target Weight.

Use BMI formula to find if you are overweight and then use BMR formula to find how many calories you need to maintain a healthy weight. 
This is important to set a Healthy Target Weight while taking any weight loss programme. Use BMI formula to find the Healthy Target Weight and then use BMR formula to find the respective calorie intake. Plan your diet and workout accordingly.
  
Your BMI is:
24.20
What does this result mean?
  • BMI is an 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.  
    * It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle mass.


    Imperial BMI Formula
    BMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches x Height in inches ) ) x 703
    Metric BMI Formula
    BMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in Meters x Height in Meters ) )

     The BMI score means the following...
  • Underweight Below 18.5
  • Normal 18.5 - 24.9
  • Overweight 25.0 - 29.9
  • Obesity 30.0 and Above


Your BMR is:
1,627.90
Calories/24 hour period

What does this result mean?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is a calculation of your gender, age, height and weight. It is an easy way to calculate your caloric intake based solely on your body weight. Although it leaves out lean body mass, it measures out the body's muscle to fat ratio. For the average sized body the BMR is extremely accurate. However, for larger bodies (both muscular and fat) it can be inaccurate in determining your caloric needs. For the muscular body type, the BMR can underestimate the number of calories needed, and for the overweight body type it can overestimate the number of calories needed.

Imperial BMR Formula Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )

Metric BMR Formula Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
Men: BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )
