Yeah true, BMI was probably made by some skinny-ass doctors with zero muscle! It seems this guy, Steve Torano, says everything that goes against what the mainstream says. That makes me scared to trust him, but it seems like he makes sense.

No, it cant be used for anyone, its a dumb fucking computation that has nothing to do with a persons actual health or causes for weight.

[heavymetalrulz123]

A LOT of people would be considered obese if they went according to BMI. My point is BMI is NOT the best way of determining whether or not someone is overweight. I don't know why I needed to say that again.

[Slaterking2010]

There are four variable weights in the human body, given your not growing.

Fat

Muscle

Bone

Water.

You can make the BMI for up by an entire unit just by drinking water.

How can this video have 8 dislikes? Are there some people that actually think a BMI calculation is accurate?

[msdancingqueen11]

the body mass index also doesn't consider your bone mass either, some people have a large or smaller bone mass and size

I thing that the more appropriate chart for measuring ones level of obesity would be "body weight ratio" or "body weight distribution".

[smoothMousePad]

Well, I am always saying that one does not necessarily need to lose weight but BODY FAT. Certain volume of muscle weights more than the same volume of "phat" :D That's why I like to call muscles a "functional" weight. Fat, on the other hand has its uses, off course, but we live in a world of food abundance (at least some parts of the world) :( so the functional uses for body fat are pretty limited.

@TheBiggestWolf Maybe BMI's are still being used because nobody came up with a new weight chart. Maybe the doctors did, but I'm not exactly sure. The BMI chart said I was overweight, and my muscles are weak. For example, my upper thighs are flabby, and my muscles are weak in that area. I don't have an immense belly, but I have some fat in that area. Actually I'm confused on whether I'm overweight or not because everybody said different things about my weight.

[SiMgUrL1721]

If BMI's are inaccurate, why does everybody go by the BMI scale? I know that I need to tone up my legs and stomach (mainly my legs) because my legs are very flabby. :( My BMI is around 25, and the adult BMI chart said I was a little overweight. My waist is around 32 or 31 inches, so I'm not that fat. This scale caused me to think that I'm really overweight. How do I know if I'm really overweight or not because I'm confused? I'm around 5' 5" and I'm weigh about 155.2 pounds.
