Where can i get an accurate BMI reading?!
Question: Where can i get an accurate BMI reading!?
i have tried using the online ones but they dont take into consideration that im very muscular!. my legs are all muscle because ive always played sports and been active!. i wear a size 9 pants and my legs dont jiggle at all when i walk because of the muscle mass but all the BMI counters say that i am obese/ morbidly overweight because im 5 feet even and 157lbs!.!.!. can my doctors office or gym do a bmi index!? i want an accurate reading!. i know muscle weighs more than fat and since my legs are very muscular i dont think im obese but i would like to know where i can get my "real" bmi count
thanks u

sorry chica, BMI will NEVER take muscularity into consideration!. it doesn't take muscularity into consideration b/c it is simply a statistical correlation of height to weight irrespective of source!.
if you want to an accurate assessment of where you are go find someplace to have your body fat analyzed!. underwater weighing the is the most accurate!. if you can't find someplace to do that, or afford it b/c it is costly, find someone who is experienced at using skinfold calipers that does @ least a 7 site measurement!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

BMI doesn't take into account frame size or muscle mass!. I think what you are referring to is finding out your body fat percentage (not BMI) where they measure the total percentage of weight on your body that comes from fat!.
You can ask your doctor or a gym trainer to measure it for you or you can purchase some body fat callipers and test your own body fat percentage (accu-measure callipers can be found on ebay)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
