What does a BMI of 27.0 mean?

Your BMI of 27.0 kg/m² indicates you are overweight.

At 6'2" and 210 lbs, your weight is above the healthy range. A BMI between 25-29.9 increases the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Recommended actions:

  • Aim for a target weight of 144-194 lbs (lose 16 lbs)
  • Reduce calorie intake gradually—aim for 500 fewer calories/day for 1 lb/week loss
  • Increase physical activity to at least 150-300 minutes per week
  • Consider consulting a dietitian for a personalized nutrition plan

Remember: BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic measure. It doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or where fat is distributed. Always consult healthcare professionals for personalized health advice.
