BMI was designed to analyze populations. If you want an easy measure of how obese 100 million people are, then BMI is useful. It was never intended for individuals. Any doctor who uses BMI on an individual is wearing a flashing neogn on he head that reads, “MORON!”
Want to know if you have fat to lose? Look in the mirror. At 55, and at 5’7-8” & 175 lbs, I could afford to lose 15 lbs. If I got down to 155, I wouldn’t be ripped, but I’d be close to it. 160 would be about prime for general health. For me, and my build. Back when I didn’t lift weights, that figure would have been 135-140.
Sorry about the spelling errors. That what happens when you multitask. Hopefully I didn’t send any FR posts to work...
