Best Answer
A healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) falls between 18.5 and 24.9.

BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. The standard categories are: underweight (below 18.5), normal weight (18.5-24.9), overweight (25-29.9), and obese (30 and above).

It's important to note that BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat, so athletes with significant muscle mass may have a high BMI while still being very healthy. BMI is just one of many tools for assessing health.
