Can I be an apple shaped if im ok weight?

My bmi is exactly 18.5, and according to my bmi, that is just on the verge of ok weight. But I calculated my waist-hip ratio and it said I was apple shaped on every site I went on, however it says apple shapes generally carry more weight round the middle, which in my case, isn’t true. I have a 32a bust and my stomach is really slim compared to my bum and thighs, and my hips are quite big despite being practically underweight.

I’m so confused :s

Answer #1

Don’t put faith in internet sites - they are often wrong

The information you give should be analyzed by a person with rational thought, as opposed to a site that offers you a general diagnosis.

Answer #2

Don’t go by BMIs. The are for people 18 to 65 years of age.
