Also, the BMI scale is kinda whack. I'm 5'11, anything over 180 for me is considered overweight. That's absurd if you have any sort of muscle mass.
How Accurate Is Body Mass Index, or BMI? |
yea... it's a flawed calculation...but maybe it's a bit more accurate to say there are health-based principles that could determine a person's general health in terms of size based on the ratios concerning how much fat a person is carrying around vs their general proportions (weight, height, girth, etc)
