Anyone else find it odd that BMI doesn’t account for cup size? I feel like that adds a whoooole lot to my weight without determining health.

BMI in general is just so outdated and terrible😭😭 it says for my height I should weight a certain amount which just so happens to be the same amount I weighed when I was SEVERELY malnourished and at my unhealthiest

Unfortunately a lot of medical shit like that revolves around men and they don’t take into account women, or how their bodies are different/present certain things differently
