The calculator presents numeric results, displays a graphic that shows the weight category for the corresponding BMI, provides a simple explanation of the results, and plots the BMI on a printable CDC growth chart. The site provides relevant links, answers to common questions, and general tips on achieving a health weight through good nutrition and physical activity.
