Comment on I live in the green part
MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoA BMI calculator will just use height and weight - if you have a lot of muscle bulk you’ll get a higher BMI result even if you’re lean. Conversely, some people are “thin on the outside, fat on the inside”, ie they carry a lot of visceral fat around their organs. So while BMI can be useful, it’s not perfect.

A skinny-fat build can be deceptive. I thought I just had big bones for a long time, but I was easily able to go from 205 to 185 lb without really looking any different. That dropped me from overweight BMI to normal BMI
