BMI-Rechner

Berechne deinen Body-Mass-Index und ordne ihn nach den WHO-Kriterien ein – mit ehrlichem Hinweis, wo der BMI seine Grenzen hat.

How we calculate

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is calculated using the most common formula today, the Mifflin-St Jeor equation:

Men: 10 × kg + 6.25 × cm − 5 × age + 5
Women: 10 × kg + 6.25 × cm − 5 × age − 161

The total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is calculated by multiplying BMR × activity factor (PAL 1.2 – 1.9). For your goals, we calculate with approx. −20% (lose weight), ±0% (maintain) and +10% (build muscle) relative to the TDEE. These values are estimates and do not replace professional medical advice.

Method
The tape measure method is significantly more accurate – measure with a tape measure.

How we calculate

The US Navy circumference method estimates body fat percentage based on height as well as neck, waist (and for women, hip) circumference. It is a recognized and practical approximation for everyday use.

Without a tape measure, we use the Deurenberg BMI method: Body fat % = 1.20 × BMI + 0.23 × age − 10.8 × gender − 5.4 (Gender: male = 1, female = 0). Both methods provide estimates; for precise values, calipers or DEXA scans are suitable.

How we calculate

The Body Mass Index is weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared: BMI = kg ÷ (m × m)

WHO classification: < 18.5 underweight · 18.5–24.9 normal weight · 25–29.9 overweight · ≥ 30 obesity. The BMI does not distinguish between muscle and fat mass – very muscular individuals are overestimated. For greater accuracy, combine it with the body fat calculator.

How we calculate

There is no single ideal weight. We show the healthy weight range based on the normal BMI (18.5–24.9) for your height as well as two classic formulas for comparison:

Broca normal weight: height (cm) − 100
Devine ideal weight: 50 (♂) or 45.5 (♀) + 0.9 × (height − 152) kg

A range is more meaningful than a rigid number – body frame and muscle mass play a major role.

Adopted from the calorie calculator, if available.
Your goal
How we calculate

We calculate protein based on body weight (lose weight 2.0 g/kg, maintain 1.8 g/kg, build muscle 2.0 g/kg) and set fat at approx. 25% of daily calories. The remaining energy comes from carbohydrates.

Caloric values: 1 g protein = 4 kcal, 1 g carbohydrates = 4 kcal, 1 g fat = 9 kcal.

All calculations run directly in your browser. Your inputs are not transmitted to us or stored.

Woher der BMI kommt und wofür er gedacht war

Der Body-Mass-Index geht auf den belgischen Statistiker Adolphe Quetelet zurück, der im 19. Jahrhundert nach einer Kennzahl für ganze Bevölkerungsgruppen suchte – nicht für einzelne Menschen. Genau darin liegt bis heute seine Stärke und seine Schwäche: Für Statistiken über Millionen Menschen funktioniert er hervorragend, für die Beurteilung einer einzelnen Person ist er nur ein grober erster Anhaltspunkt.

Die WHO teilt in Untergewicht (unter 18,5), Normalgewicht (18,5 bis 24,9), Übergewicht (ab 25) und Adipositas (ab 30) ein. Diese Grenzen sind Konventionen, keine Naturgesetze – sie wurden aus Sterblichkeitsstatistiken abgeleitet und mehrfach angepasst.

Wo der BMI an seine Grenzen stößt

Der BMI kennt nur Größe und Gewicht. Er unterscheidet nicht zwischen Muskel und Fett, nicht zwischen breitem und schmalem Körperbau, und er weiß nichts darüber, wo das Gewicht sitzt. Ein Kraftsportler landet regelmäßig im Bereich Übergewicht, ohne ein Gramm zu viel Fett zu tragen. Umgekehrt kann jemand mit normalem BMI, wenig Muskulatur und viel Bauchfett stoffwechselgesund aussehen, ohne es zu sein.

Auch das Alter spielt hinein: Bei Menschen über 65 gelten leicht höhere Werte als günstig, weil eine kleine Reserve bei Krankheit von Vorteil ist. Bei Kindern und Jugendlichen sind die Erwachsenengrenzen gar nicht anwendbar, dort arbeitet man mit alters- und geschlechtsspezifischen Perzentilen. Ergänze den BMI deshalb um das Verhältnis von Taillenumfang zu Körpergröße – liegt es unter 0,5, ist das ein gutes Zeichen – und um deinen Körperfettanteil.

Frequently asked questions

Nach WHO gilt ein BMI von 18,5 bis 24,9 als Normalgewicht. Darunter spricht man von Untergewicht, ab 25 von Übergewicht und ab 30 von Adipositas.

Nur eingeschränkt. Muskeln wiegen mehr als Fett, daher werden muskulöse Menschen oft fälschlich als übergewichtig eingestuft. Nutze ergänzend den Körperfett-Rechner.
