What's your BMI "body mass index"

[WhiteKnight]

5' 11" 175, BMI 25. Also, I agree that BMI is garbage. It doesn't apply to athletes at all.

But I am proof that the BMI is crap. Why? My BF is under 15%

If you have any muscle at all, the BMI is useless.

Right, and most people with muscle know better than to worry about BMI. 😉 I was actually discussing this the other day with a physician friend of mine and he agrees that it's basically just a simple means of quantifying people's weight in order to make it more obvious to them that they need to make some lifestyle changes.

BTW- I'm 6' 190, so technically "overweight" as well. 😉

Somewhere between 24 and 26.

25?

Shouldn't age be factored in there someplace?

 

[JulesMaximus]

My body is all mass.

22, up from 20, 10 years ago.

Any site with instructions for the method that measures fat layers in various points of the body to compute the body fat index? I did it when in college, and was near the minimum for a healthy average person.

I am 5' 5" and a Body fat of 23%. I used an electronic thing at school... dunno if that counts.

(96/74^2)*703=12

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

5'8" 173lbs, BMI=26 BFP= 8%...conclusion. BMI sucks.

So without the muscle mass, my BMI is really what, 10%? 😕

Between 23-24 but my BF is about 10%.

I agree. I'm an endomorph (big boned) and I am sitting at 6' 195 and am at 11% BF. BMI is too general
