Body mass index (BMI)

A healthy weight can be checked by calculating your body mass index (BMI). BMI is the measure of your height and weight, which is then compared against a chart. The BMI chart can give a good indication of whether you’re under or overweight, or you’re average weight.

The NHS website has useful resources around BMI calculations and how you can lose weight through changing your eating habits and exercise. 

  • Calculate BMI on NHS.UK
  • Weight loss advice from NHS UK
