BMI is a gross measurement that does not take into account that muscle is heavier than fat. Had a buddy at Oregon State who was doing a paper on BMI and % body fat. At the time, I was doing a lot of cycling, thighs bigger than waist. My % body fat was less than 10, BMI greater than 30. According to the BMI thing, at the time I was morbidly obese.

BMI is bunk
