Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI range?

For adults, BMI under 18.5 is underweight, 18.5–24.9 is normal weight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese. These thresholds apply to most adults but may differ for older adults, children, and some ethnic groups where health risks occur at lower BMI values.

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

BMI is a rough population-level screening tool, not a precise individual measure. Muscular athletes often have a high BMI despite low body fat because muscle weighs more than fat. A 200 lb bodybuilder and a 200 lb sedentary person have the same BMI, but very different health profiles.

How much water should I drink per day?

A general rule is half your body weight in ounces. So a 160 lb person should drink about 80 oz (10 cups). Active people and those in hot climates need more.

Does coffee count toward water intake?

Yes, moderate coffee and tea consumption counts toward hydration. While caffeine is a mild diuretic, the fluid in these beverages still provides net hydration.
