That is why you'll never be seen as having your patients' best interest at heart. The BMI can't tell the difference between fat and muscle. The BMI can't tell if a body is meant to be tall, short, thick, or thin. If the BMI was, is, and always will be bullshit - so are you.

Everybody knows BMI doesn’t discriminate between fat and muscle, including the doctor who will probably notice if Mr Olympia is standing on the scale in front of them. It’s an initial screening tool which is broadly indicative across the majority of the population.

@Artists_Ali point out that BMI is garbage, and PhD's and MD's freak. As someone who went from 230 pounds to 153, and ran marathons, I stand by@Artists_Ali. It's a useless tool and the medical community needs to stop using it. Y'all docs just lazy. -
But please, tell me how a metric that was designed by looking at a homogeneous population of white, European men should be used to evaluate the health of everyone. As for myself, getting below a 25 BMI means starving myself and losing muscle mass and inviting injury.

Never?! I’ve actually spoken with many doctors who discount BMI as an effective way to judge health risks.

I'm also a dietitian and I absolutely refute the BMI. It's a bs tool for lazy practitioners.
