BMI is inaccurate, seeing as it does not account for muscle mass. If Arnold Schwarzenegger were to calculate his BMI, it would be off the charts into the obese region.

My BMI, last time it was calculated, was 30.4, yet I am very fit. This is why I dislike the BMI.
ok i got 21.0...also remember muscles can be trained for different things the best way to get your BMI checked is by your family doctor as they most of your medical history etc; BMI calculatros are mainly for people that do very little or no working out at or all and even then is a rough estimate so dont take a BMI calculation for gospel

At least I'm not below 15, but still, I have a super-high metabolism.

Or they're stronger than you.

As said before, just because somebody's Body Mass Index is high doesn't mean that they're fat.

Do you work out? Do you exercise? Are you active? If none of these apply to you, then your BMI is fat, not muscle. Mine is 25% Muscle. The rest is fat.

im willing to say mine is at least ^o) 90% of me is muscle

i come from a very heavy-built family, so that mostly adds to the BMI. i'm sure that not all of it is fat for I do not look extremely obese. i'm muscular but not visibly muscular.

Way to brag. I recently messed up my back (Rock band drum set too low and my back messed up). So I can only do some excersises. However, my back is very well, and I am planing on pushing myself hard so that when I go into Wrestling in the summer, I can actually lift the person I had to wrestle with before (BMI is probably 50. He weighs 290 and is like 5"6)

Arnold Schwarzenegger is out of shape.

24.4
But yet, Body mass index is terribly inaccurate and doesn't deserve to be used.

its not always terribly inacurate... only for people who workout lots

BMI is more of an idea of where you stand.
