Formula & Calculation Methodology
BMI = weight(kg) / height(m)^2 with Asian-Indian risk stratification (Normal: 18.5-22.9, Overweight: 23-24.9, Obese: >=25).
Calculate your body mass index based on official ICMR and WHO Asian-Indian specific cutoffs. Plan daily protein and calorie requirements tailored for Indian dietary staples (Roti, Dal, Paneer, Rice, Soya).

Weight: 70 kg | Height: 172 cm (1.72 m) | Diet: Indian Vegetarian
ICMR and WHO recommend a lower BMI cutoff (Overweight at 23 instead of 25) for South Asians because Indians tend to accumulate higher visceral abdominal fat at lower body weights, increasing type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk.
