    Imperial BMI formula BMI = (weight in pounds x 703) / (height in inches) ^2

    it is about the same as the MFP calculations when I manually do it. Is it set to kg/m or lb/in?

    Metric Imperial Formula
    BMI = (weight in kilograms)/(height in meters)^2

    When I started on MFP my BMI said I was 6inches short for my weight, now after 5months I'm only 3.5 inches short for my weight.

    :drinker:
