Body Mass Index (BMI) is a standardized ratio comparing weight to height, used globally by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a population-level screening metric for weight classification:
- Underweight: BMI below 18.5
- Normal Weight: BMI 18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25.0 – 29.9
- Obese: BMI 30.0 or higher
While BMI provides a fast, non-invasive baseline, it does not directly distinguish between muscle mass and adipose fat tissue. Athletic individuals with high muscle density may register as “overweight” on BMI despite having low body fat percentages. Conversely, individuals with lower muscle mass may have a normal BMI while carrying excess visceral fat.
Pairing your BMI screening with consistent calorie and macronutrient tracking ensures you reduce body fat while preserving lean muscular tissue. BiteCal makes daily tracking effortless with photo recognition.
