What is a BMI?
Your body mass index (BMI) is a measure of your weight relative to your height The following categories are used to identify possible weight problems in adults.
| Evaluation | Underweight | Normal | Overweight | Obese I | Obese II | Morbidly Obese III |
| Measure | <18.5 | 18.5 - 24.9 | 25 - 29.9 | 30 - 34.9 | 35 - 39.9 | ≥40 |
Please note that these are only mathematical estimates.
The actual calories used by your body may be much higher or much lower depending on many factors, such as lifestyle, medical history and conditions, and family history. In particular, very active people, older people, or overweight people may use more or less calories than predicted.

MET = The Metabolic Equivalent of Task

MET values of physical activities range from 0.9 (sleeping) to 18 (running a 5.5 min/mile). MET is used as a practical means of expressing the intensity and energy expenditure of physical activities.
