Frequently Asked Questions

Why is BMI misleading for athletes?

BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so muscular athletes often score as overweight or obese despite low body fat.

What is a better measure for athletes?

Body fat percentage (via body-fat-percentage-calculator) or lean body mass gives a more accurate picture than BMI alone.
