A small BMI does not equate to fit and healthy

A large BMI does not equate to fat and unhealthy

Lynford Christie (see link above) at 1.88m, and 92 KG comes in with a BMI of 26 which classes him as overweight.

Is he fat, fit, healthy or unhealthy?

UNHEALTHY!!!!!

It just can't be healthy to be a top athlete...

So the BMI of a professional athlete is your excuse?

There's no way I'm quitting weed and taking up cycling for miles on a per day basis to have my body "thank me" -- whatever that means. I have a more-or-less balanced diet, I exercise enough to keep my muscles from atrophy and I enjoy life. Why put myself through the extra rigors if I'm content, confident and not dying?

Under 25 is normal, so I see no need for the "rigors of exercise" if you are disinclined.

Just passing along what works for me. YMMV, of course.

I would say olympic athletes might not be "normal".

After all, muscle weighs more than fat.

Which is why BMI has been shown to be of not much value, except fun threads on chess website forums.

Just for information, underweight is considered BMI of under 18.5, while overweight is over 25, and you're classified as obese with a BMI over 30.

19.8

what are you at now?
