Why 23, and not 25?
Indian bodies carry more body fat and more of it around the middle at the same BMI, so India's own guideline moves the cut-offs down. We use ICMR-NIN 2020: overweight at 23.0, obese at 25.0. Most calculators use the WHO's 25.0 and 30.0, which read a BMI of 24 as normal.
BMI is a screening number, not a diagnosis. It cannot tell muscle from fat.
A number is a start. A plan is the point.
The app turns this into a calorie target and a week of Indian meals.
