“The BMI is not racist, but it is stupid and way off for certain types of body builds that happen in all races.”

Yep. I came in (in a water test) at exactly 11% body fat six months ago.

I am morbidly obese according to BMI because I’m a muscular male.

I have to go in, every year, for tape measure tests.

Yeah, I relate. My ideal weight is about 20 pounds over what the BMI calls “obese” for my height, which is nonsense. When I have been that weight, nobody would have called me overweight much less “obese”. While I am a bit over my ideal now, I don’t appreciate the brain dead scale that calls me grossly overweight even when I am fit.
