BMI calculator FAQ

Frequently asked questions about BMI standards, body-fat estimates, calorie planning, and how this site is structured.

Can BMI alone diagnose health problems?

No. BMI is a screening tool and should be paired with waist measures, body composition, lifestyle context, and clinical judgment where needed.

Why does this site show more than one BMI standard?

Different populations and body types can require different reference thresholds, so the calculator keeps those interpretations visible.

Are the calorie and body-fat numbers exact?

No. They are educational estimates designed to support planning, not to replace medical evaluation or lab testing.

Why keep the homepage tool-focused?

Because the original site worked as a calculator first, and preserving that makes the homepage clearer and more useful.

Does the site include advertising disclosures and trust pages?

Yes. The rebuild includes privacy, cookie, disclaimer, editorial, data-source, FAQ, and contact pages, plus one consistent email address.

How many original supporting guides are included?

33 original guide pages are included so the domain is not dependent on a single thin tool page.
