BMI is a bunch of horse crap.

"BMI is a bunch of horse crap. "

Agreed. It doesn't take into consideration body type or the kind of tissue adding the weight.
I mean anyone with a husky build will show up as overweight because of the dumb nature of the chart. I am listed as second level overweight but I move pianos for a living and have a rather muscular build.
And furthermore, a little extra girth isn't all that bad.

I agree, they do not take into account body frame type or muscle mass.

"The experts agree that because of muscle mass, BMIs can put some men in the obese category."

According to BMI statistics, I'm obese as well. Just so you know, I'm 5'6", and 158 lbs. I train in 3 martial arts, run and work out EVERY day, and have a heart rate of less than 50 beats a minutes. Yup, I'm obese.

You are correct...

They tell you BMI is meaningless to people who are physically fit! Muscle weighs more than fat and causes any interpretation of BMI out the window!

It is crap,A few years ago, a couple of close friends of mine were going into a bodybuilding contest, and had check ups.

The doctor (an idiot) labeled them "obese" based on their weight and height.
