Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
BMI is the body mass index that is calculated when knowing your height and weight and depending on the results one is classified to degrees (underweight,normal,overweight,obese )

So if your weight is 69 kg and your height is 166 cm ,then your body mass index BMI depending of your weight and height is 25.04 and this is considered in the higher maximum borderline of normal .

so you must pay attention not to gain weight an extra 1 kilo or more will make you in the overweight range

These are the references of BMI
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9 >>>>>HERE IS YOUR LEVEL
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

To reach your optimum weight in the normal range : you must be below 68.89 kg

the normal range for you is between 51 kg -69 kg approximately

so your target weight is that you need to keep your weight or you can lose some if the tone of your muscles need exercising

-focus on fruits, veggies, egg whites, soy products, skinless breasts, fish, shellfish, nonfat dairy foods, and 95% lean meat.

Here are more tips :
