Frequently Asked Questions

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a general indicator and may not be accurate for athletes, elderly individuals, or those with high muscle mass. It doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat.

Generally, a BMI between 18.5-24.9 is considered normal weight. However, consult healthcare providers for personalized health assessments.

Should I lose weight based on my BMI?

BMI is just one health indicator. Consider overall health, body composition, fitness level, and consult medical professionals before making weight decisions.

How often should I check my BMI?

Monthly or quarterly BMI checks are sufficient for most people. Focus on overall health trends rather than daily fluctuations.
