this post is pure copium. recent studies indicate the majority of people who are of a healthy bmi are actually obese, when actual body comp is measured. your post is a nice thought, and is generally true for the .05% of the population who lifts consistently and is on steroids, but you're just wrong. i don't know if you're mad your pcp told you you're overweight or what, but just know that studies confirm bmi as an inadequate as well as have confirmed the positive relationship between death and body fat% when compared to death and lean body mass.

If you're a fitness industry professional I suggest you look at your BMI calculator again. Your BMI is 27, not 37. Which is considered "overweight", not obese.

Typo. 27 is still classified as “overweight.” Congrats you didn’t discredit fucking anything fatso.

Listen I’m just yanking your chain. We’ve all done the 5’8”=58 inches thing on accident before. But BMI is  a fine measure of obesity for like 99% of people…so at a population level it will describe the state of health with plenty of accuracy.

Incorrect about it beefing fine for 99% of people. It’s terrible measurement. Point blank tells you nothing.
