Bmi indicator

How can anyone go by those according to them I should be 5'4'' and weigh 120lbs, but im 5'9'', they dont work anyways becasue they dont count muscle massm stop trusting the bmi calculator, anyone agree?

What do you mean you should be 5'4? the BMI doesnt tell you how tall you have to be? And anyways it's an approximation, giving an average range...

no, for my age im supposed to only be 5'4'' I know its weird, becasue not everyone is that short

that's an average... it doesnt mean you're supposed to be that height...
the bmi is calculated according to however tall you are, it does take that into account...

I think your doing it wrong
your bmi doesnt say how tall you should be
it says hoew much on average you should weight according to your height
your height isnt what it calculates...it calculates your weight
so you use your height and your age to calculate how average your weight is
around 21-25 is a good body mass index
lower could be healthy or unhealthy, and higher could also be healthy and unhealthy

yeah, its probably that youre doing it wrong somehow. try this website: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

Also, keep in mind that the BMI calculations are usually only valid for Men and Women between 18 and 65 years of age. For teens they should only be used as guidelines to shoot for by 18 years of age.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

'How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?'

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

'What should a minimum calorie intake be?'

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.
