Is BMI bunk?
According to a BMI calculator, I have a BMI of 33 which puts me in the obese category. So, I played around with the numbers to determine what my weight would have to be to be in the upper end of "normal". The calculator said I have to lose 70lb or get down to 150lb! Unbelievable. I haven't been 150 since high school and when I look at old pics of me in HS, I looked gaunt. I remember feeling at my best health when I weighed 185. The BMI calculator said I'd be overweight, close to obese at that weight. Is BMI bunk?
