BMI is biased towards slimness as the height increases. You can be a willow branch build, but be considered overweight at 7’0”.
That’s why I suggest focusing on your composition. If you are 15-20% as a male and 20-25% as a female, you are not overweight regardless of what the scale says.
Concur. BMI made sense 100 years ago, before people started lifting weights. In the eighties, I used to go to an old Jewish tailor to adjust my uniforms. How old? He showed me his concentration camp tattoo. We got into a discussion on body shapes. He told me that athletic men in the 1980s would have been considered the muscle men on the 1950s. Yes, as a group Americans are much fatter, but those stay in shape are much more muscular than in the days of old, which the BMI does not take into account.
