BMI Calculator
Body mass index (BMI) is an approximation of an average adult's body fat
by calculating a ratio between your weight and your height. While it is a good estimation
for most people, it is rather inaccurate for people with low body fat or who are
muscular. You should take this value as a suggestion and not as the absolute truth.
Usage:
Enter your height and weight and your BMI will be automatically calculated.
