Calculating the good weight range













Now lets calculate our BMI or body mass index.



Lets say Sandra is 1.60 meters tall and weighs 70 kilos.


1.60 x 1.60 = 2.56



70 ÷ 2.56 = 27.34



Sandra's BMI is 27.34



From the BMI chart given below, you can see that Sandra is overweight.



Normal BMI is between 18.5 and 25.





BMI - CHART
Severely underweight
less than 16.0



Underweight
from 16.0 to 18.5


Normal
from 18.5 to 25



Overweight
from 25 to 30



Obese Class I
from 30 to 35



Obese Class II
from 35 to 40



Obese Class III
over 40


So what is the ideal weight range for Sandra?
18.5 x 2.56 = 47.36 Kg
25 x 2.56 = 64 Kg

The ideal weight range for Sandra is between 47.36 and 64 kilos.
