To calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) as a female, use the formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m)²). First, convert your weight to kilograms and your height to meters if needed. Then, square your height measurement and divide your weight by this number. For example, if you weigh 70 kg and are 1.65 meters tall, your BMI would be calculated as 70 / (1.65 * 1.65) ≈ 25.7. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy.
