A member asked:
Whenever i calculate my bmi it says my ideal weight should be between 40 to 60 kg but my friends of same height and age even have 80kg but they are not fat. but bmi says they are fat. so is it really necessary to depend on bmi or what to do?

40-60 is huge range: The categories normal, overweight, and obese are defined by the body mass index (BMI), which is a measurement that looks at one's weight in comparison to his height. Tall people are allowed to weigh more than short people are. BMI calculators are available at the doctor's office and also on the internet. An adult with a BMI of 18.5-24.9 is normal, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30 or more is obese.
