the BMI was developed by a European data nerd who only measured white working class men from one country. it does not really account for deviations from that specific type of person, like gender, ethnicity, or musculature. all it can say is how your weight relates to your height, and the medical field has a real problem with treating patients like human beings, let alone accurately identifying someone’s needs. so, uh, i wouldnt stress over your BMI
