## How the App Works

The prediction algorithm (method) for the app is simple

The app takes the clients BMI (body mass index)

The means of calculation for BMI is simple; you merely have take your weight (in pounds or kilograms) and divide it by the square of your height (in feet or meters, the first if you picked pounds and the second if you picked kilograms)

## How the App Works (cont.)

The app works if you have a BMI between 18-35 

It is assumed that if you have other problems that are more pertinent if you have a BMI outside that range

If below, you are clearly underweight

If above, you have more weight than you need (there are of course, exception)
