h90 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I don't agree. I have an average non-muscular body and I find my BMI number and what I see in the mirror makes perfect sense. Bringing up ... look in the mirror and compare yourself to a hottie on the beach ... there're your "BMI" What I'm saying is rather than label BMI as totally worthless, better be more honest and see it as a tool that can provide some general information for many people but shouldn't be taken in an orthodox manner. But for that you only need a mirror......not a BMI I have seen people in Europe who are almost square in body shape, without any training very muscular and heavy. I have seen Thais look like children in their body shape, slim but without muscle. BMI would bring complete wrong results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Like I said taking the number in an orthodox way may often mislead but that doesn't make looking at bmi worthless either. I have actually found it very useful to track my progress and even as a motivation tool.

EmptyHead Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think the BMI does give a decent measurement. It says, I will be in healthy weight when i am 72kg (at most) And i know when i was that weight, i looked and felt healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It gives more info than just weight anyway. Sent from my Lenovo S820_ROW using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
