The BMI scale is a top tier opp of mine. Its existence makes me so MAD. Especially bc I majored in Biochem, on top of being a gym rat, it's just utter BS all around WHY is it the main blueprint in 2026!? WHY is it used by doctors?? My lil sister developed a gnarly eating disorder bc the doctor told her she was overweight (according to BMI) and needed to lose weight when she was 13! She was 124lbs!

The BMI explicitly states that it doesn’t take muscle density into account lol. Nobody takes that scale seriously

Some researchers recently did a study that said “body roundness index” is a more accurate measure. Not even joking

Woah there tubby let’s calm down

BMI was created by a french dude to measure weight of english white men, with no account of muscle density at all. It shouldn’t be used remotely as much as it is. Shit pisses me off.
