The Science Behind It

BMI Formula

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)²

For imperial users, we convert behind the scenes before calculating.

BMI Categories

BMI Range

Category

What It Means

Under 18.5

Underweight

May indicate nutritional deficiencies

18.5 - 24.9

Normal Weight

Associated with lower health risks

25 - 29.9

Overweight

May increase risk for certain conditions

30+

Obese

Higher risk for various health conditions

Healthy Weight Range

We calculate the healthy weight range using:

  • Minimum healthy weight = 18.5 × height²

  • Maximum healthy weight = 24.9 × height²

This shows your lead exactly what weight range is considered healthy for their height.

Contact Information

Full BMI Results

  • BMI value

  • Category (Underweight/Normal/Overweight/Obese)

  • Healthy weight range for their height

  • Weight difference to healthy range

  • Display weight and height in their preferred units

  • Age and gender (if provided)


Tips for Success

1. Pair with a Follow-Up Offer

BMI is just a starting point. Use it to introduce your weight management program, nutrition coaching, or fitness services.

2. Send Results via Email

Set up an automatic email with the {{Results}} placeholder so leads get their BMI, category, and tips in their inbox.

3. Address the Limitations

BMI doesn't account for muscle mass or body composition. Consider mentioning this in your follow-up to position your deeper assessments.

4. Use the Data in Outreach

When you contact leads, you know their BMI category. Someone in the "Overweight" category needs different messaging than someone "Normal" looking to stay healthy.


Important Notes

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic measure. It:

  • Does not account for muscle mass

  • Does not account for bone density or body composition

  • May classify muscular athletes as overweight

  • Should be used alongside other health assessments
