For the “bmi sucks” crowd, 9/10 people your doctor sees are fat fucks that BMI absolutely applies to. If you’re in the gym regularly and your BF% and bloodwork are good, don’t worry about what the scale says because it doesn’t matter

Yeah no, BMI is still incredibly flawed independent of gym goers. It doesn’t differentiate at all between different sexes or races, and height and weight do not scale directly. It’s severely flawed. We are actively told not to use it in med school lol.

Even if it’s flawed it gets you into the ballpark. Though that being said, eyeballing someone can tell you if they’re overfat or not like 99/100 times. BF measurement would be a better way.
