How accurate is the PixCalo BMI calculator?

PixCalo uses the official WHO BMI formula: weight ÷ height² (or × 703 for imperial). BMI is a reliable first-look indicator for most adults, but it should be combined with waist measurement, body composition, and clinical checks.

Does the BMI calculator work for athletes or highly active people?

Highly-trained or muscular individuals may have a higher BMI on the BMI chart for adults due to lean muscle mass, even with low body fat. Use the PixCalo BMI calculator alongside measurements of lean mass, waist-to-height ratio, and performance data for full context.

What should I do after I get my BMI?

After calculating BMI, review your healthy weight range and the personalized category-specific tips in PixCalo. Use them to set realistic goals and put them into action. Always consult a qualified professional for significant nutrition, training, and medical changes.

How often should I recalculate my BMI?

Track your BMI using the PixCalo BMI calculator every 4–6 weeks to monitor trends. Recalculate sooner if your body weight shifts by more than 2–3% in a short period, your training or nutrition plan changes, or your clinician requests an update.

A BMI below 18.5 on the adult BMI chart may indicate you're underweight. Consider speaking with a health professional about gaining weight safely.

Focus on nutrient-dense meals, strength training, and regular check-ins.

Healthy Weight

BMI 18.5–24.9

A BMI within 18.5–24.9 indicates a healthy weight range for most adults.

Overweight

BMI 25.0–29.9

A BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 suggests extra weight relative to your height on the BMI scale.

Improve gradually with gentle calorie deficits, regular activity, and better sleep habits.
