The Python BMI Calculator is a simple command-line application that calculates Body Mass Index (BMI) based on user input of their height and weight in metric units. BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight, and it is commonly used to classify people into different weight categories. This project provides a useful tool to quickly and easily calculate a user's BMI based on their input data.
This project is a great example of how Python and Streamlit can be used to build interactive and user-friendly applications for health tracking and fitness monitoring.
---> Visit my web-based BMI calculator here to determine your BMI easily and efficiently.
Before using this application, you must have Python 3 installed on your system. You can download and install Python 3 from the official website
Once you have Python 3 installed, you can clone the repository or download the source code as a zip file and run the file in the machine using your prefered workspace like VsCode, PyCharm etc.
The formula used for the BMI calculation is as follows:
BMI = weight / (height ** 2)
The resulting BMI value is then classified using the following categories:
| BMI Category | BMI Range |
|---|---|
Underweight |
< 18.5 |
Normal weight |
18.5 - 24.9 |
Overweight |
25 - 29.9 |
Obese |
>= 30 |
