How it is calculated
Target weight (kg) = target BMI × height (m) squared. Change = target weight − current weight.
Example
Inputs: Weight = 80 kg, Height = 175 cm, Target BMI = 22. Result: Target weight: 67.4 kg; Change needed: -12.6 kg; Direction: Lose weight.
Limits and caveats
- It gives the weight only, not a timeline or a diet plan.
- It relies on BMI, which does not separate muscle from fat.
