Bmi

[Chloe21]

For the first time my doctor is pleased with my BMI, I’ve always been underweight. I just wondered what other people think about their BMI, are you concerned about it? Should we worry?

I think there is too much focus on BMI, after all you can be considered as having a high BMI yet be solid muscle, because it is purely based on height/weight ratio

I never thought of that and muscle weighs heavier than fat supposedly so a BMI that is too high could actually be fine.

Defo, you have to look at the person, not just the BMI, was a big who-har on TV some years back about it, stating that some muscle’ athletes were fat based on their BMI. When in fact they were solid muscle, no fat!

I like to think my fat is muscle!
