[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BMI is a very poor measurement of health and weight. It can give you a rough outline for some people, but isn't accurate for a lot of people - especially fit and active people. Technically I'm slightly overweight (BMI is like 25.4) but I'm very active and lift weights. I have large dense breasts, and have some lose skin from losing a chunk of weight. My doctor isn't remotely concerned about my weight - my orthopedist even called me "thin!" [/quote] Re-read what you wrote. BMI is a “very poor measure” because of some narrow exceptions that are not at all representative of the actual population realities. This is like people that attack standardized testing because they always managed a shitty score. It’s the same thing. [/quote]
