🙋♂️ BMI Calculator for Men
Calculate your BMI using height and weight entered in pounds and inches, with the standard weight categories used for adult men.
What is BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used screening measure relating body weight to height. This version uses pounds and inches, the common imperial units used in the United States.
How it’s calculated
BMI is calculated as (weight in pounds ÷ height in inches²) × 703. The result falls into standard categories: under 18.5 is underweight, 18.5 to 24.9 is normal weight, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese. These categories are the same for men and women in general population screening, though individual body composition — particularly higher muscle mass, which is more common in men — can affect how well BMI reflects body fat.
BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and does not directly measure body fat percentage. This calculator is for general educational purposes only.
