Using %tg body fat would be better stil,l but that requires proper measurement rather than a back of a fag packet calculation.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostYeah, using volume instead of height would be better. But being too muscular could be bad too. Average is probably best.Last edited by DaveB; 23 March 2010, 15:13."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Granted, but the posts I was responding to either quoted a healthy weight or BMI itself.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostIt’s so sloppy that it’s useless. In fact it’s worse than useless; it can actually be damaging when used for anything other than trend analysis over a very large group of people. If a bricklayer has a bmi of over 25, is he fat or muscular? If an office worker has a bmi of over 30, is he fat or does he do a lot of training? If a heroin addict has a BMI of 22, is he healthy or on the edge of death?
Honestly, BMI really gets my goat; it gives people unrealistic goals, completely buggers up calculations of risk and is used to scare people into buying snake oil.
From the picture I can pretty much guarantee you that the lady in question is not high in the BMI charts as a result of serious exercise/muscular physique, but rather as a result of spending too much time with Ben and Jerry.
As an aside, generally those who exercise regularly (let alone those who have a career in sports) are usually familiar with the flaws in the BMI calculations, but as an indicator for the average joe it does give a reasonable guideline. On the whole, if you're a similar shape to wizbit you should really get to the gym more often.Proud owner of +5 Xeno Geek PointsComment

And you called him mentally deficientOriginally posted by sasguru View PostIts your mental disability that puts them off, eh?
All low level, but not adding anything to the debate about big girls..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
