Why Tracking BMI Matters for Biohacking
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a foundational metric in the quantified self movement. While it is a simple calculation of weight-for-height, it serves as a crucial baseline for establishing your ideal weight and monitoring trends in your biohacking journey.
Understanding where you fall on the BMI spectrum is often the first step in formulating a strategic weight loss diet plan or assessing health risks associated with visceral fat.
BMI Categories Explained
- Underweight (< 18.5): May indicate malnutrition or insufficient fueling.
- Normal Weight (18.5 – 24.9): The target range for lowest mortality risk in general populations.
- Overweight (25 – 29.9): Often a signal to check metabolic markers, though athletes with high muscle mass may fall here.
- Obesity (30+): Strongly correlated with metabolic syndrome and inflammation.
Strategic Meal Planning for Healthy Weight
Once you know your BMI, the next step is action. Effective healthy meal planning advice suggests adjusting your caloric intake based on your TDEE. Combining this data with a diet chart for weight loss can accelerate your results, whether you are using NHS weight loss guidelines or advanced Keto protocols.
