Dear Aritra Bhattacharjee, Thank you for the question

We request you to kindly specify your height so that we can determine your BMI to guide and help you with appropriate nutritional guidelines accordingly.

WHO has given different BMI (Body mass index) classifications to categorise adults into different weight categories. BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height. It can be considered as a 2nd level indicator of overall health.

It can be calculated using a simple formula of BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m²)

 

Following is the WHO BMI Classification

18.5 to 24.9 - Normal

Less than 18.5 - Underweight

25 to 29 - Overweight

Above 30 – Obese

 

As per WHO BMI (Body Mass Index) classification, a person whose BMI is between 25 to 29kg/m2  is considered  overweight .

Please note it is recommended that the target body weight must be maintained within the normal BMI & ideal body weight range.

Hope we have answered your query.

Wishing you a great day ahead
