How to check BMI & healthy weight

Convert height and weight across feet, stone, pounds and metric — with a live BMI and your healthy-weight range.

⏱ 2 min read🧰 Tool: Body💡 Level: Beginner

Body & Health converts height and weight between US, UK and metric and computes BMI live — with a color band and a healthy-weight range for your height.

1

Enter your height

Open Body. Enter your height in feet & inches or centimeters — a toggle switches units and shows the equivalent (e.g. 5′9″ · 175.26 cm).

Enter your height
Enter height and weight in any units; BMI and a healthy-weight range compute live on the right.
2

Enter your weight

Add your weight in stone, pounds or kilograms. Like height, the unit toggles and converts instantly, so you can work in whatever system you know.

3

Read your BMI and healthy range

Your Body Mass Index shows live with a color band (under / healthy / over / obese) and a plain-language label — e.g. 23.6 · Healthy weight — plus the healthy-weight range for your height (e.g. 125–169 lb).

4

Switch systems as needed

Use the US / UK / Metric switch to reframe everything for your region. All values convert together so nothing gets mixed up.

Use-case example

Making sense of a US fitness plan. Lena knows her height in cm and weight in kg, but her plan talks in feet and pounds. She enters 175 cm and 73 kg; the tool shows 5′9″, 160 lb, a BMI of 23.6 (Healthy weight) and a healthy range of 125–169 lb — all without doing any math herself.

Pro tip

Toggle each field between metric and imperial to instantly see your height and weight both ways — useful when a plan or doctor uses different units.

Please note

BMI and sizing figures are general guides, not medical diagnoses. BMI doesn't account for muscle mass or body composition. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for personal health decisions.
