1. What is BMI With 100g Increments?

This calculator provides a precise BMI calculation by accounting for weight in 100g increments, offering more granularity than standard BMI calculators that typically only use whole kilograms.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ BMI = \frac{(weight\ kg + 0.1 \times increments)}{height^2} \]

Where:

\( weight \) — Base weight in kilograms
\( increments \) — Number of 100g increments to add
\( height \) — Height in meters

Explanation: The equation calculates BMI while accounting for additional weight in 100g increments (0.1kg each) for more precise measurements.

3. Importance of BMI Calculation

Details: BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity in adults.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your base weight in kg, any additional 100g increments (if needed), and your height in meters. For example, if you weigh 70.3kg, enter 70kg and 3 increments.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use 100g increments?
A: For more precise measurements, especially useful when tracking small weight changes over time.

Q2: What are standard BMI categories?
A: Underweight (<18.5), Normal (18.5-24.9), Overweight (25-29.9), Obese (≥30).

Q3: When should I measure my weight?
A: For consistency, measure at the same time each day (morning after bathroom use is ideal).

Q4: Are there limitations to BMI?
A: BMI doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution. Athletes may have high BMI without excess fat.

Q5: Should children use this calculator?
A: Children's BMI should be interpreted using age- and sex-specific percentiles, not adult categories.
