BMI Index Calculator
A lot of sites have a BMI index calculator, but few are as cute as this one! You can calculate your body mass index in pounds and inches, or click on the "metric" tab to use metres and kilos. Next, be sure to find out what constitutes a normal body mass index. There's more to it than just normal or overweight. In fact, the World Health Organization divides obesity into three categories!
This calculator is easy to use. Type your height, in inches, into the first box. Type your weight, in pounds, into the second box. Now click on the "calculate BMI" button. That's all there is to it!
Hint: Five feet tall (5') is sixty inches (60"), so if you are 5'3", you would type in 63.

Did you know that the average American woman is 5'4" and weighs 140 pounds? That gives her a body mass index of 24.85 - dangerously close to the overweight mark on our BMI index calculator!
