BMI is effectively pseudoscience at this point anyway. Women store fat in very different ways compared to the men the BMI chart was based off of, so a woman who would otherwise be deemed completely healthy by a doctor could be “obese” based on BMI

I also heard that the scale doesn’t take into account the weight of muscle vs fat so there are also body builders that would be considered obese on BMI

It does not! It’s just height and weight. I’m someone who would be considered obese based on BMI, but if you just look at me you’d never be able to guess that.
