NHS BMI Categories

Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared (m²). The NHS uses these categories:

BMI RangeCategoryHealth Risk
Under 18.5UnderweightIncreased risk of nutritional deficiency
18.5 - 24.9Healthy WeightLower risk of weight-related conditions
25 - 29.9OverweightIncreased risk of heart disease, diabetes

Health Calculator FAQs

What is a healthy BMI range?

According to NHS guidelines, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. A BMI under 18.5 is classified as underweight, 25-29.9 as overweight, and 30+ as obese. However, BMI may not be accurate for athletes with high muscle mass, elderly people, or certain ethnic groups. For a more complete picture, consider also measuring waist circumference and body fat percentage.

How many calories should I eat per day?

NHS guidelines suggest approximately 2,000 calories per day for women and 2,500 for men to maintain a healthy weight. However, your actual needs depend on your age, height, weight, and activity level. Use our TDEE calculator for a personalized estimate. For weight loss, a deficit of 500-750 calories per day typically results in 0.5-1kg loss per week.

What are healthy macro ratios?

A balanced diet typically includes 45-65% carbohydrates, 20-35% fats, and 10-35% protein according to NHS guidelines. For weight loss, higher protein intake (25-30%) can help preserve muscle mass. Athletes and those building muscle may need 1.6-2.2g protein per kg of body weight. Use our macro calculator to get personalized targets.
