Explanation: The formula rearranges the standard BMI equation to solve for weight instead of BMI.
Details: Knowing your target weight for a specific BMI can help with weight management goals, fitness planning, and health assessments.
Tips: Enter BMI in kg/m² (typically between 18.5-24.9 for healthy range) and height in meters. All values must be valid (BMI > 10, height between 0.5-2.5 meters).
Q1: What is a healthy BMI range?
A: Generally, 18.5-24.9 is considered healthy, 25-29.9 overweight, and 30+ obese, though individual factors may vary.
Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise, but actual healthy weight may vary based on muscle mass, body composition, and other factors.
Q3: Can I use feet and pounds instead?
A: This calculator uses metric units. For imperial, convert height to meters (1 foot = 0.3048m) and weight to kg (1lb = 0.4536kg).
Q4: Why calculate weight from BMI?
A: Useful for setting weight goals when you know your target BMI based on health recommendations.
Q5: Does this account for age or gender?
A: The basic BMI formula doesn't account for these factors. Athletes or older adults may need different interpretations.
