The FastDay Forum

Hi all,

Just a little query, i was changing my stats in the progress tracker but when it came to updating my BMI its giving me 24.99 which i think its slightly wrong as i have used two different calculators online and both give me the same reading as 24.30.. Any idea?

Thank you!
Happy fasting

Hi mine is the same on the NHS one its 24.7 but on here its 24.80

Hi Carol, weird isnt it?

Maybe the settings are different? Ah well, never mind lol thanks for reply!

Try doing your own calculation - mass in kilograms divided by height in metres squared - to see which is right. There has been a new version of the BMI calc discussed recently, I'm not sure if is used here but @moogie will know...

It's probably too do with metric/imperial height conversion and the margin of error from the associated rounding. I'm currently working on some tracker revisions to allow for more accurate conversions and for heights to accept fractions of cm.

Hi Moogie,

That would be good especially considering I can't put in that I'm 5"6.5 i have to choose between 6 and 7 so my BMI is wrong either way

use 169 cm. That will be closer.

I've noticed this lately, too. My height is 165.1 cm, but that .1 makes all the difference when your BMI is 25.01!

Thanks MaryAnn, didn't think of that as I'm so used to feet and inches =P

Thanks for input everyone!

Mine has always been higher on this site too, I guess it's the same for everyone
