Keep present wt: Basal metabolic index (bmi) for you is 21.8, and this is within the normal range. You may check the basal energy expenditure (BMR) known as the harris-benedict equation and for your age, ht., wt., with light activity, the basal caloric requirements = 1365 cal. Remember this is only a ballpark figure, and your activity level may vary a lot throughout the day.
