What is optimal bmi?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Overweight / obesity: Optimal bmi is 20-25 kg/m2. Overweight is 25-30, obese is more than 30. However, this is a guide, and individuals may vary. Bmi is just weight/height, so someone (usually a male) who is stocky and muscular can have a high bmi yet be very lean.

20 to 25: 20 to 25 is where we like it to be. For men with lots of muscle mass they can go a bit higher. One easy way to track and keep your numbers in range is by using health gaming applications which help you interpret your health numbers from connected health devices.
