BMI is simply method for indexing populations by weight and height. It has no bearing on body fat percentage or health risk.

BMI is stupid crap thats a complete waste of time.
someone with a high BMI is considered obese.
Every body builder is then obese.

BMI doesn't take anything into account, for example, muscle build, fat mass, bone structure etc.

If anyone takes a BMI seriously you need a slappage
