Yeah baby I am below the US average by 96% and the world average of BMI 83% it says that I am most like a male from Eritrea.Of course I work out doors alot and I also
do 150 pushups first thing in the morning and I am a very picky eater I also eat slowly while many of my friends eat so fast the food could have not flavor and they'd not realize it.

Of course a male with a lot of muscle mass would be high in BMI so he gets taped and if he has low body fat he is healthy they do this in the US military to really muscular people.

Apparently im a little overweight.

5'10", 198 pounds.
BMI of 28

You have a lower BMI than 52% of males aged 30-44 in your country (Yeah me!)

You have a higher BMI than 84% of males aged 30-44 in the world ( "I'd like a number 5 combo, super sized with a diet coke please")

You're most like someone from United States (yeah that figures)

As I'm on a diet and now 3 stone lighter, I'm ruling myself out on the grounds I'm too busy loosing weight.

And the fact bmi index is flawed, a weight lifter would be classed as clinically obese!

Ofcourse it is flawed, it is too vague to be of any specific use.

I would not say that it measures mass which would include muscle and bone as well as fat so if you had a lot of muscle mass BMI alone would be incorrect.It is a means of measuring but not the only one and it does not cover all things.You could have a good BMI and have a crap load of bad cholesterol in your body and still have a heart attack.That being said for most people if they have a low BMI they more than likely are skinny as a rail and if they have a high one are as fat as William H. Taft with a dollop of sour cream.

Exactly. Of course the BMI will say that a weight lifter is obese - but the weight lifter knows he's in good shape just by looking in the mirror, so he shouldn't even bother with it. It's useful for the rest of us, who are overweight.

I am soo not joining the discusion

But this only reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago. My mother (as always) was in a bad mood and needed an excuse to jump on my nerves, so she took me to her workplace (laboratory in the local hospital) and she measured my cholesterol.
My bad cholesterol count was lower than hers, altough she's slim and always practicing some low fat diets
