BMI calculations are not the most reliable source for seeing if you are of healthy weight!. But usually that is means for being on the high end of the spectrum, meaning overweight!. Because it doesnt take into account that muscle weighs more than fat, So i could technically be morbidly obese according to BMI, but since i am actually very athletic i weight a lot but have a low body fat percentage so im fine!. So take BMI with a grain of salt!. If your really worried, ask a doctor if your healthy weight!. Plus is you posted your info that would help too, age, weight, sex, height!?!?
AGE! add your age too, that is important too!
If you are under the age of 20 then you use a different BMI calculator than if your over 20!. So age is important only if your under 20!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The BMI is interpreted differently for children and adolescents and the BMI-for-age is used instead!. The BMI also has limitations and your frame and whether you have too much, too little muscle mass may produce inaccurate scores!. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to get some additional info from you doctor about the BMI and limitations, medical history, health risks etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
are you sure you did it properly!? But no its not accurate!. BMI is meant to measure up your body weight but what is doesn't take into account is muscles!. Most footballers for example are put into the obese category when it comes to BMI because they have so much muscle but are extremely fit!. And muscles ways more than fat!.
But I'm sure you and your brother are fine don't take it to srsly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
