BMI is a bunch of bull. It's about as accurate as having a 5 year old tell you how you look; they either say fat or skinny. That, in essence, is how gloriously accurate the BMI is.
I'm 22.8, btw. 6' 3.5ish inches and 185 lbs.

BMI is pointless. Get a real bodyfat test like DEXA if you really want to measure body composition.

BMI is horribly inaccurate because it doesn't take into account muscle mass. I am 1 away from overweight and I am most definitely no where near over weight. Anything it is measuring is muscle.

23.7
6' 1" 180lbs
The funny thing is that my weight does not fluctuate at all when I exercise, because I seem to build muscle and burn fat at a 1:1 ratio. This means that my BMI was 23.7 back when I could plainly see my abs while flexing, and it's 23.7 now when my abs have joined an underground movement.

28.7
5'10" 200 lbs.
It does say there are limitations. Those that have a small build and those with a muscular build get screwed over in this, as it will not be accurate. I wear size 32-34 pants, I'm still a bit overweight, but a BMI of 28.7 is almost obese. People say I look buff, so go figure.

Guess what's more accurate than BMI? Me deciding whether you are fat or not based on a picture of yourself in a snowsuit.
23.1 btw.

about 23. didn't use that one cause i'm lazy and don't want to convert cmts and kg's again. it actually is:
0-21 is underweight
21-24 is perfect
25-40 obese
40-above morbidly obese
0-21 is underweight
21-24 is perfect
25-40 obese
40-above morbidly obese

very little of it is fat. (<- been swiming for 16 years.... had about 5 years of that doing 40-50,000m week in week out, still swim though i now do other things like bike, and light weights)
its a bit rubbish this thing isnt it.
what if you are a body builder? you could be 6ft and 200lbs of snorting muscle and it would tell you your a fat bastard.
