What my Body Mass Index??

Question

ok am i overweight, im 13 years old 5'7 152 pounds(i am big boned and i have alot of muscles)

so can someone tell me if im overweight or what my B.M.I. is

Answer 1

Well, I was reading everyone's answers and a 23 % I would assume is probably not accurate at all. The only way it is accurate is if you have some one put in all your measurements. I have my personal trainer do my measurements once a month to monitor my progress. Here is an example of what I mean. The 23 % is generaic because if I put my height and my weight in it tells me I am 19% body fat and with my real measurements done at the gym and with their BMI computer program I am truly 6.1%. So don't go by a standard calculator. You need to get all you measurements and then compute to find your real BMI.

Answer 2

You have a BMI of 23.8.
This shows that you are of a normal weight.

The table below shows value ranges and what they mean.

Range Meaning
less than 18.5 Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 Normal
25.0 - 29.9 Overweight
30.0 - 39.9 Obese
40.0 - 50 Extremely Obese
over 50 Super Obese
