How we calculate
Calories: Mifflin-St Jeor formula multiplied by physical activity factor. Weight loss includes a 15% deficit; muscle gain includes a 300 kcal surplus. Macronutrient ratios can be customized with a specialist.
BMI: weight (kg) / height (m)². Adult categories: Underweight (< 18.5), Normal weight (18.5–24.9), Overweight (25–29.9), Obesity (≥ 30). Weight range uses 18.5 and 24.9 boundaries. CDC Adult BMI Categories.
Activity: MET × BMR / 24 × duration in hours. This is an estimate factoring in resting metabolic rate. MET coefficients are population averages.
Understanding Healthy Weight Ranges by Height
This tool translates standard BMI boundaries (18.5–24.9) into specific weight ranges in kilograms for your exact height.
Difference from the BMI Calculator
BMI evaluates an existing height-weight pair. This tool does the reverse calculation to show healthy weight boundaries for a given height.
