[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BMI for kids is ridiculous. It's just a snapshot in time. My DD has been flagged for being overweight in the past, but she absolutely does not look overweight. She's VERY active and eats moderately. Now she's not a stick, don't get me wrong, but she looks just fine to me. She does have very muscular legs though, not sure if that's causing her to weight more than she "should"? We found a new pediatrician and they never bring up BMI to us. Not sure if they do to other families. [/quote] Some kids are denser than others. If asked the weight everyone would guess the child weighed much less than they do. Different body types[/quote]
