BMI is widely recognized and used to describe bodies but the BMI scale is wrong and useless or even harmful.18.5 BMI is not "healthy". 135lbs at 6' is not "healthy". It is severely underweight and dangerous.A healthy BMI starts at 22 and can be as high as 30 easily. Underweight should be <22.5 not 18.5 and overweight should be >30 not >25.25 BMI is only 185lbs at 6' which is a very reasonable and healthy weight. Only people with zero muscle, which is itself unhealthy, are likely below this.
>the only type of person who complains about the bmi scale
>>76998247BMI doesn't differentiate between fatty and lean tissue you retarded gorilla nigger
yeah america has a serious muscularity epidemic
>>76998233>the BMI scale is wrong and useless or even harmful.Always has been. People are 3D not 2D so it doesn't scale properly with height, nor does it take into account differences in frame and musculature.Number of times BMI was more useful than a mirror: 0.
>>76998233BMI is perfectly fine for 99% of the population who doesn't lift. Changing it to keep some fringe group of bodybuilders in mind is retarded. The doctors have eyes and can see if your BMI is caused by muscle mass or lard so I don't understand why you even give a fuck.
>>76998265This. People are getting dangerously jacked in the new world.

>>76998364>BMI is perfectly fine for 99% of the populationNo it is not.>The doctors have eyes and can see if your BMI is caused by muscle mass or lardBecause nobody calculates their bmi at home right?
>>76998364>The doctors have eyes and can see if your BMI is caused by muscle mass or lardHow do you get to that point in the reasoning process and not realize they can skip BMI and just look at you.
>>76998740Yeah it is. It’s absolutely fine for the majority. It’s probably fine for most gym goersIf you know it doesn’t apply to you then it wouldn’t bother you. But it does, so you get angry and make threads about it daily. Protip: it’s accurate for you
BMI is a metric for loosely guiding cardiovascular health risk. It doesn't matter whether your mass is lean or fat - too much is too much. Where it fails, is calculations for extra tall or extra short people, and it is arguably still too lenient overall.
>>76998740>No it is not.Yes it is.>Because nobody calculates their bmi at home right?Then I ask again: Why do you care? If it isn't for the concern of your doctor labeling you as a FATASS or anything like that.You just sound insecure, honestly. Probably have a lot higher body fat percentage than you think it is.>>76998755Stats are taken and written down for diagnosis purposes, if it's relevant. And it doesn't matter if you're shredded at 30 bmi, your heart still has to work harder to pump blood to the mass.
if a women was this weight and height she would look fucking disgusting yet its considered healthy seperate bmi for men and women TRUMP
>>76998254Yeah which is why people with lots of muscle don't worry about it and only fatties give a shit.
>>76998233>bro just be 24.4 ffmikek
>>76998233a fat fuck who pretends she is healthy made that
These bmi threads are fatty cope. I have a notable amount of muscle on my frame and I’m well within the healthy range. Of course, I’m not an obese powershitter wannabe or a roid tranny
>>76998233You are dumb and fat. I have a high BMI and I know I am in fine shape, hence I do not care.You are desperate and coping enough to make this thread, so you are a skinnyfat bitch. The only way to disprove this is post body with timestamp. You will not.Keep being pathetic and mediocre, fag.
>>76998755As I recall, BMI was developed so doctors could list off an objective number instead of the subjective "ur fat, eat a salad".
>>76998824>Stats are taken and written down for diagnosis purposes, if it's relevant. And it doesn't matter if you're shredded at 30 bmi, your heart still has to work harder to pump blood to the mass.>>76999113>As I recall, BMI was developed so doctors could list off an objective number instead of the subjective "ur fat, eat a salad".You can do all that with a height and weight chart, and it would be more relevant (Because squaring is a half ass way to account for height difference), but I guess they need to invent shit to justify quarter million dollar salaries.
>>76998233If you're 250lbs+ your issue isnt too much muscle skewing BMI.
>>76998233the bmi scale applies well for 99% of the population, and that's how doctors use itif you can't understand that then you're simply a low iq mongrel
>>76999240so where is the "official" seperate scale for man and for woman? If you think they both should have the same scale then you are retarded
>>76998233Hey anons, so I am at 150 pounds which is about 24.5 on the BMI scale but I still look decently fat, a good amount of that is most likely loose skin but do some people just still look fat at a healthy bmi and need to lose more?
>>76998233Your heart and joints don't care if it's fat or muscle. Flesh is flesh; put down the fork, fattie.
>>76998233Works fine for women.
>>76998233>Only people with zero musclemost untrained nattys, and even most gym-users have very little muscle and are shockingly weak.The average man who walks into a gym for the first time will struggle to curl 20lbs dumbbells.Most people throughout history were skellies.Having a lot of muscle or body fat is a fairly new phenomenon. Oh yeah what was I saying?If you think the BMI chart does not apply to you, you are just a delusional fat pig unless you roid or are an advanced natty lifter.
