1. What is the BMI Weight Loss Formula?

The BMI Weight Loss Formula calculates how much weight you need to lose to reach your target BMI based on your current weight and height. BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the BMI Weight Loss Formula:

Where:

• Current Weight — Your current body weight in kilograms
• Target BMI — Your desired BMI value
• Height — Your height in meters

Explanation: The formula first calculates your target weight based on the desired BMI and your height, then subtracts this from your current weight to determine how much weight you need to lose.

3. Importance of Target BMI Calculation

Details: Knowing how much weight you need to lose to reach a healthy BMI can help set realistic weight loss goals and track progress toward better health.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current weight in kg, your target BMI (typically 18.5-24.9 for healthy range), and your height in meters. All values must be positive numbers.
