    BMI = your weight(in kg) divided by the square of your height (in meter).

    You cannot have an accurate asnwer to that wihtout doing a body composition assesment (skinfolds, dexa, BIA underwater weighting)

    However you can estimate your nutrition status easily by calculating yout Body Mass Index

    BMI = Weight X Height 2

    ie 75kg X (1,75m)2

    SCORE

    Underweight = <18.5

    Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

    Overweight = 25-29.9

    Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

    you need to use bodyfat scales (not that accurate) or use fat calipers.

    fat calipers measure skin and fat on 3 points of the body and then fat percentage can be calculated from the measurements.
