Umm! Yeah. Since my husband is 6’ tall, between 195-200 pounds and has hardly any body fat, yet still rates high on the BMI, I consider the BMI to be BS.

Well, this is just a guideline and as much as I hate having these government types set them, little junior weighing 175 lbs at twelve years old at 60 inches in height needs to change his eating habits.

They have me overweight at 135 lbs @63 inches. My body fat is under 20%. (Well under for a female) Go figure.
