BMI = Body Mass Index. It is a calculation based on your height relative to your weight. HOWEVER, it is a somewhat GENERAL guideline. It doesn't apply to individuals to are either extremely muscular (like bodybuilders) or extremely thin (anorexic models) as it doesn't give the right result.

Reading directly from your post, it shows your ideal versus what your current BMI is. Basically, your a little over your ideal BMI. It tells you what your ideal weight should be. And gives you a basic calorie intake for you based on your height.

For the most part, anyone trying to lose weight should consume about 1,200 calories anyway. Consuming less than this (and for long period of time) starts getting dangerous IMO.

It isn't giving your any special info in my opinion. It is a good tool and guideline to use. What you do from here, is up to you. At this point, you have to decide what to do. (This is where they start pitching you their diet plans, workout regimen, etc.).
