[Geronimo]

BMI is bollocks.

Recognised as pretty much useless now across the world

How accurate is it?
Just done a check on myself and I'm not a fat knacker like but it's shows me as obese and need to lose 3 and a half stone to be in the healthy bracket if I lost 3 stone I would look like I was dead

if you are male and have tits, it's prolly accurate.

Its a totally archaic and inaccurate weigh of measuring tbh

 

[Mainze]

It's for little blokes to worry about.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

I use the SEPYFF index




Stop eating pies you fat fucker

I get my BMI done at every hospital appointment and every time, I get told off for being overweight as my BMI is over 25. I'm a size 12.

Ironically, the nurses telling me off are often larger than me

 

[Daydream Believer]

BMI is bollocks.

A decent general rule of thumb is that blokes shouldn't have a waist size more than half of their height.

Ideally get your body fat % checked properly though.

BMI is a good rule of thumb for your average lazy slob who takes his car to pop down the road to the shops, but it's not intended for folk who do a lot of sport and so have a higher than average amount of muscle.

This. Good answer.
