bmi is the most useless thing humans have ever invented.
im a personal trainer and i can tell you that bmi is garbage. it only takes into account your weight and height. you could be 5'5 of solid muscle, or 5'5 with a massive fat beer gut and have the same bmi, but be in completely different fitness levels.
ignore the bmi all together. the only way to really measure body fat is in a lab with machines and such, or the water tank drop thing. both are very hard to get a hold of.
Are you using a calculator you found online or is this an evaluation from a doctor?
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
But they are numbers that you got from putting in your weight and height. Does that really sound verifiable to you? Didn't think so.
how old are you?
bmi only counts if you're 16 or over..
