What BMI tells you

BMI is your weight divided by your height squared. According to the WHO, 18.5 to 24.9 is normal weight, 25 to 29.9 overweight and 30+ obesity. It is a quick rough indicator for the general population.

When BMI misleads

BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat. Someone who has lifted for years can have a BMI over 25 and still little fat. Waist circumference or body fat percentage is more accurate.
