Step 1: Open the Tool
Visit the HeronTool website and find the "BMI Calculator (BMI 计算)" tool. No registration needed—just click to enter. Ensure you have accurate height (in meters) and weight (in kilograms) ready.
Step 2: Input Data and Calculate
Fill in your height and weight in the input fields, then click the "Calculate" button. The system will instantly display your BMI value and its category (underweight, normal, overweight, or obese). For example, height 1.75m and weight 70kg gives BMI≈22.9, which is normal.
Step 3: Interpret Health Metrics
Beyond BMI, HeronTool provides reference for related indicators. You can combine waist circumference and body fat percentage (self-measured) for a more comprehensive risk assessment. If BMI exceeds 24, increase exercise and adjust diet; if below 18.5, ensure adequate nutrition.
FAQ

Q2: How often should I measure? Once a month is sufficient; too frequent can cause anxiety.
Q3: Does the tool support unit conversion? Yes, you can switch between metric and imperial units in settings.
Q4: Is my data stored? No, all calculations happen locally, protecting your privacy.
