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.

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.

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.
