BMI a load of old rubbish?!
Question: BMI a load of old rubbish!?
Can someone explain to me how I can be exactly the same height and clothes size as someone else, yet her BMI is within the healthy range whereas mine says I'm overweight!.
We are both 5'7" and wear size 10 clothes!. The only difference is that I have bigger boobs and weigh 1!.5 stone more than her!.
If I was to lose weight (which according to my BMI, I should do), then I would have to be about a size 8 to be within the healthy range!.
This does not make sense!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
you are correct! BMI is a load of garbage!. most any calculator that arbitrarily assigns numbers to you and does calculations based on those is incorrectWww@Answer-Health@Com
All kinds of reasons!. You might have more muscle and less fat than her!. You might have a heavier frame with more dense bones!. You might just distribute your weight differently so although you might both wear a size 10 trousers, your upper body might be a size 12 and her upper body might be a size 8!. So lots of possible reasons!.
BMI is a load of poo though, I agree!. It's best to go by body fat percentage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think, in a way, your right!. But the MI thingy doesn't know where your weight is based!.
Your bust for instance is bigger than your friend's!? This means nothing, a size 10 sounds perfectly healthy, and you shouldn't need to worry about your weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

BMI is calculated by factoring height against weight so if you're heavier than her then your BMI will be a higher figure!.

BMI doesn't take muscle into account!. You can be very muscular and have just about no fat and be overweight according to that scale!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
BMI is just a guide - its meant to be used by doctors etc who can see what your body is like ie big boobs, or muscley!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
