Answer #1

u can get a body fat content scan through electrode testing or something of that sort, then test your BMI. this will tell you your “actual” bmi

Answer #2

Yeah, Online BMIs don’t do much. If you really want to know exactly, you can go to a gym and they can do it by measuring you and stuff. They take muscle into consideration.

Answer #3

your bmi is 26.1(not obese barely over weight ) if you have a lot of muscle mass you are fine . bmi is based on what is a common muscle mass and does not take in to consideration more than common muscle mass…

Answer #4

BMI doesnt always tell you much. If you’ve got muscles, it’s not going to accurately judge whether you’re overweight or not.
