1. What is the Reverse BMI Calculator?

The Reverse BMI Calculator determines weight based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and height. This is useful when you know your target BMI and want to find out what weight you should aim for.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( BMI \) — Body Mass Index (kg/m²)
• \( height \) — Height in meters

Explanation: The formula rearranges the standard BMI calculation to solve for weight instead of BMI.

3. Importance of Weight Calculation

Details: Knowing your target weight for a specific BMI helps in setting realistic health goals and monitoring progress in weight management programs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your target BMI and current height in meters. All values must be valid (BMI > 0, height > 0).
