Frequently Asked Questions

Calculating your body mass index (BMI) is simple—you just need to know your height and weight. The formula is :
BMI = kg/m2, where “kg” is the person’s weight in kilograms and “m2” is their height in meters squared.
You can calculate your BMI using this formula, or you can use the Legion BMI Calculator for Men to arrive at the same answer (in less time).

There is no such thing as an “ideal” BMI for everyone. Instead, the ideal BMI for you depends on how much muscle you’re carrying (which will increase your BMI) and how lean you want to be (which will decrease your BMI).

In other words, BMI is a helpful tool for getting a general idea of whether or not you should lose or gain weight, but it’s not good for determining exactly what weight you should aim for.

No. The equation for calculating BMI for males and females is identical. That said, men will generally have a lower percentage of their body weight that’s fat, which is why it’s also a good idea to measure your body fat percentage.
