Few days ago I was asked by one of my clients, which happens to be a nutritionist, to write some piece of code for his website that will calculate the body mass index of an adult person. To do this, I had to research a bit into this exact issue. So doing this i found BMI Calculator. They have a simple script which calculates in either English or metric system the BMI of one person.

As I have a similar math app, I might release my BMI script too, just as I did with the previous math converter/calculator. Of course, this script is not complex at all, but it can be very useful. I may even release it as an API, so that nutritionists, doctors and alike could easy implement it into their sites, or simply use them in their offices.

Until then, I warmly recommend you the above BMI calculator, which works great.

Quicknote: BMI is used to calculate if the extra weight you have translates itself into future health issues. You may also find the body mass index defined as quetelet index. As I said above that this is not a complex app, I must state also why. Well, BMI is calculated with a simple division, between the weight and the height, weight over the height squared.

Cheers!
