less than 20 (underweight)
20 - 25 (just right)
25 - 30 (overweight)
more than 30 (a right porker!)
The BMI Index is a reliable method of finding if what you way is about right for your height.

At 6' 0" and 168lbs, my BMI is 22.8
Below 20 is underweight.
20 - 25 is ideal.
25 - 30 is overweight.
30+ is obese.

.....and the basic flaw with the BMI Index is that it makes no allowance for increased muscle mass or bone structure. At his peak, Frank Bruno registered as seriously obese, despite the fact that there was barely any fat on him at all.
23.8 @ 6'6" and 207lbs. But Bugs is right, another thing you have to take into account is body fat percentage.
The Height you entered is 5 feet, 9 inches. The Weight you entered is 155
Your Calculated BMI is: 22.9

The BMI analysis is deeply flawed. For a start, it automatically inflates women's figures - women generally have a higher percentage of body fat, and their chest doesn't help any (not in this case, anyway). Secondly, it takes no account of how that 150 pounds, or whatever, is built up. Ask Linford Christie, Donovan Bailey, or Arnold Schwarznegger to calculate their BMI and they'll probably show up as chronically obese - then try telling them that they are fat!

The BMI Index is made for the man on the street, not the professional bodybuilder. If you are such, feel free to ignore your results...

Weight in kilos/(Height in metres)2 = BMII already know that I'm under 20, it runs in the family. I usually eat twice the amount that a guy a lot heavier than me would eat, and don't do sports at all, but I still stay as my skinny self. Usually it goes around 16-18. I'm still as healthy as a goat.

There's another group that get poorly served by the BMI- and that group is teenagers. The BMI is aimed firmly at adults that have stopped growing, not your average gangly teen. The "normal" teenager gets a lower BMI than the "normal" adult.
Take yourself as an example, Boddingtons. You're 18/19 aren't you? That means you're unlikely to grow any taller, but will almost certainly gain more muscle mass and will notice an increase in your chest and collar sizes over the next few years as your body takes on it's mature adult form.
Having said that, it's interesting that you're already in the heavy half of the "normal" BMI rating. At 18 I would have rated as slightly underweight, as would many teenagers. At 31 I now rate a 25.7, a rating which reflects that I've developed my father's big ribcage and cart-horse thighs.
Now the pictures I've seen of you all portray a chubby-cheeked young cherub, which suggests that you're either carrying the lingering traces of puppy-fat or have acquired some hamster genes at some point. Either way, you're hardly a light-weight among you rake-thin peers. As I said, you're already in the heavy half of the "normal" rating, and can you guess which way that's going to head? Yep- you guessed it. I estimate you'll be over the 25 rating by the age of 24/25.
At age 19, 5'8 and 8st (or 122lb, about 50kg), I come up as BMI of 17.0.
But I knew I was thin anyway.

At eighteen I had a BMI of 29 (measured at Conscription), now I assume it's a bit above 30. I'll tell you exactly if you get me a metric BMI calculator...
Oh, okay, found one- it's somewhere in the 30-31 range.
I still think it's a bad indicator of health- a wise man once said that it's better to be fat and physically active (me) than thin and physically inactive (possibly quite many on these boards).

Not bad I suppose.
5' 10" and 175 lbs. -> 25.1
I haven't measured my height/weight in a long time, so I might weigh a bit differently (and my most recent height was 5'8", and 2nd most recent 5'10"! Damn screwups)
