Your BMI (body mass index) is an evaluation generally used to determine whether you're at a healthy weight, overweight or underweight. It's a standard scale that can be used regardless of your age, gender or build. A BMI of between 18.6 and 24.9 is considered normal. Experts generally consider a BMI below 20 to be underweight. BMIs of 25 to 30 are generally considered overweight, while a BMI over 30 is generally considered very overweight (obese).
