BMI is person`s weight in (Kg) divided by square of height in (m). The formula is BMI= Weight / Height x Height (m) . Values of BMI : <18 malnutrition, 18 - 25 normal body weight, 25 - 30 being overweight, 30 - 40 overweight, and >40 pathological obesity.

the harris benedict equation
males : 66 + ( 13.7 × weight ) +( 5 × height ) - ( 6.8 × age )
females : 655 + ( 9.6 × weight ) + ( 1.7 × height ) - ( 4.7 × age )
calculated the rate and type
of activity :
females/males/type of activity
1 / 1 / sedentary
1.12 / 1.1 / low active
1.27 / 1.25 / active
1.48 / 1.45 / very active
Basic metabolic rate :
BMR = Activity rate × total calories
If Underweight, he calculates his ideal weight in a calorie equation, then × activity rate .
If overweight, subtract (-) his ideal weight of excess weight, then ÷ 2, then subtract the result (-) of excess weight, then × activity rate .
body mass Index :
BMI = weight ÷ height ^(2)
less than 20 / Thinnest
20 - 25 / Ideal Weight
25 - 30 / increase weight
30 - 35 / Obesity 1 degree
35 - 40 / Obesity 2 degree
more than 40 / Excessive obesity
perfect weight for females
= 23 × height ^(2)
perfect weight for males
= 24 × height ^(2)
