The BMI calculator is a handy tool that can help you determine whether you’re underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based solely on your height and weight.

It’s easy to use, all you have to do is input your height and weight in either metric or imperial units, and voila! The calculator will generate a BMI score that corresponds to your weight status.

It’s important to note that the BMI may not be the most accurate measure of body fat for everyone, particularly for black women like us.

Studies have shown that black women tend to have a higher percentage of body fat than white women at the same BMI score. So, it’s possible to be misclassified as having a lower weight status than you actually do.

This doesn’t mean that the BMI calculator isn’t useful, but it’s important to consider other factors when assessing your weight status, such as your body fat distribution and overall health risks. If you’re concerned about your weight or health, talk to a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and support.

In the end, the most important thing is to focus on being healthy and happy in your own skin, regardless of what the BMI calculator says. Take care of yourself, stay active, eat well, and love yourself just the way you are!
