Explanation: This formula rearranges the standard BMI calculation to determine what weight would be needed to achieve a specific BMI value for a given height.
Details: Calculating target weight for a specific BMI helps women set realistic weight goals, plan weight management strategies, and understand healthy weight ranges for their height.
Tips: Enter desired BMI value and height in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will determine the weight needed to achieve that BMI.
Q1: What is a healthy BMI range for women?
A: For most adult women, a healthy BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Q2: Does this calculator account for body composition?

A: The BMI formula itself is the same for both genders, but healthy ranges and interpretations may vary slightly due to typical body composition differences.

A: This provides a general guideline. Individual factors like body frame size, muscle mass, and overall health should be considered when setting weight goals.
Q5: Should pregnant women use this calculator?
