Calculate and Compare your Body Mass Index

MyBMI is an app to help you keep track of your ideal weight.

• It calculates your Body Mass Index (BMI).
• It compares your BMI to people of the same gender from your country.
• It allows you to compare your BMI to average BMI in other countries.

The body mass index is calculated using your weight and height:

height = 1.65 # Height in meters

weight / (height ** 2) # BMI Calculation
