BMI Chart and Calculator
This spreadsheet for Excel contains a BMI calculator that uses both the CDC and the NHANES II definitions for BMI. The chart shows your BMI on the spectrum based on the chosen formula and gender. This spreadsheet also contains a worksheet used to create the BMI charts listed above (using quite a few special tricks that may delight the Excel enthusiast).
Technically, both the CDC and NHANES II definitions use the same BMI formula. It’s only the range of values for each category that is different.

How To Calculate Percentage of Weight Loss in Excel
*TIP*: You can add your own weight loss percentage tracker to any excel or googledocs templates by including: lbs lost divided by starting weight. Then, multiply the result by 100. So, if your starting weight is 150lbs and you lost 5lbs, you’ve lost 3.33% of your body weight. Or use a web service like calculatorpro’s weight-loss percentage calculator found here Formula: Lbs lost / starting weight = x 100
2. The Easier Solution
The reason this weight loss chart was made was because none of the weight trackers out there had all the information wanted.
- I weigh 275 pounds and want to get to 198, how long will it take me if I lose 2 pounds per week average? Or 1.5 pounds, etc
- How much have I lost so far?
- How much am I losing per day?
- How much am I losing per week?
- Am I above or below where I should be right now?
- If I keep losing at this pace, what date will I ACTUALLY hit my goal?
- How many pounds until I hit my goal?
- How long have I been on this weight loss journey?
- How many more days until I hit my goal?
I wanted all of this information at a glance and pretty to look at. I know it’s not an app or super fancy but if you’re like me, like seeing this kind of data, and making the information visible helps you stay accountable, you’ll like this too.
You’ll need a Google account for this to work.

4. Excel Weight Loss Chart / Tracker With BMI
This chart allows you to record and track your weight over several periods and plots this on a chart, alongside your target weight. Also includes a BMI calculator that tells you the healthy weight range for your height (based on BMI).
Using the Excel Weight Loss Chart Template
In order to use the above Excel Weight Loss Chart Template to track your weight, simply enter your height and, if required, your target weight, into cells I2 and I3 of the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will automatically display the recommended healthy weight range for your height (based on BMI).
Enter the start date and your initial weight into cells B25 and C25, in the bottom half of the screen. Every time you weigh yourself, add the new date and your new weight to the table. Your progress will automatically be displayed in the spreadsheet chart, and summarized in the table on the top right of the spreadsheet.
Functions Used in the Weight Loss Chart Template
The BMI and weight loss calculations are mainly performed using simple Excel operators, +, -, * and /
However, the following functions are also used in the spreadsheet:
Round– Used to round the calculated BMI to one decimal place.
IF– Used to check if the data has been entered by the user, and if so, displays the calculated BMI, etc.
Ideal Weight Chart and Calculator
This spreadsheet contains a table, ideal weight charts, and a calculator for finding your ideal weight, using either the Devine, Robinson, or Miller formulas. It also includes the “normal” weight zones associated with the standard BMI range 18.5-25.
Ideal Weight Chart Formulas
The three most popular formulas for calculating ideal weight are the Devine, Miller and Robinson formulas[3]. The above weight charts and the spreadsheet includes all of these formulas so you can see the differences. They are primarily used for calculating medication dosages, and they don’t account for age, frame size, muscle tone, etc. See the references below for more information about these formulas.
Another method for finding a range for your ideal weight is to use the “Normal Weight” range determined by the standard Body Mass Index range of 18.5 – 25 [1]. The body mass index is only based on height and is calculated the same both both men and women. You can use an online BMI Calculator, but the one included in the spreadsheet also includes the Devine, Robinson, and Miller formulas. It is important to note that BMI for children is not calculated the same way as for adults.
In the Ideal Weight Calculator included in the above spreadsheet, you will find two separate tables defining what BMI value is used to define Overweight. The standard value defined by the CDC[1] is 25 for both Men and Women. I prefer to use the NHANES II[2] definition which defines Marginally Overweight as over 26.4 for Men and over 25.8 for Women.
Listed below are the formulas we used to calculate weight in pounds W[lb] given height in inches H[in]. Multiple the weight in pounds by 0.45359237 to get weight in kilograms.
- BMI Formula
W[lb] = ( BMI * H[in]^2 ) / 703 - Devine Formula
Men: W[lb] = 110 + 5.06 * ( H[in]-60 )
Women: W[lb] = 100.1 + 5.06 * ( H[in]-60 ) - Robinson Formula
Men: W[lb] = 114.4 + 4.18*(H[in]-60)
Women: W[lb] = 107.8 + 3.74*(H[in]-60) - Miller Formula
Men: W[lb] = 123.64 + 3.10*(H[in]-60)
Women: W[lb] = 116.82 + 2.99*(H[in]-60)

This printable workout log focuses on your day to day strength training. You can use this log to track your progress, and change up your sets, reps, and weight.
