Re: Body Mass Index
No point messing around with BMI
I basically ignores the fact that muscle weighs more then fat, so any athlete or muscular bloke with a low body fat content is still obese.
Why it is used in "medication" terms (I hope you see what I mean here) is beyond me.
I'm 6' 1", and weigh 80kg with 10% body fat. At the moment, I think I am classed as ok, but a few months back when I was heavier at about 85kg with 12% body fat I was classed as over weight. My training will take me to about 87kg and 8% body fat, but the BMI will still me have as overweight/obese.
Proof, that really it should be ignored hehe
