Body mass index — Asian-Indian cut-offs
Your BMI
23.5
Classification
Overweight
These are the Asian-Indian cut-offs used in Indian clinical practice — the risk thresholds sit roughly two points lower than the WHO international scale. BMI is a screening figure only: it cannot distinguish muscle from fat, and it says nothing about where that fat sits.

Mifflin-St Jeor estimates resting energy expenditure for healthy adults; it does not account for pregnancy, lactation, thyroid disorders or any condition altering metabolic rate. Sustained intakes below 1,200 kcal should be supervised.

Knowing someone's BMI and maintenance calories is the first five minutes of a consultation. Turning that into a chart they will actually follow — for their condition, their kitchen and their budget — is the skill the Diploma teaches.
