Body Mass Index – Lean Body Mass
by art on Aug.04, 2009, under Other fitness
Having lost enough weight to be considered in fair shape, I hate that according to the Body Mass Index (BMI) calculators, I’m just going from obese to oveweight… hey! I have a lot more muscle than the average american, and although I’m not thin, I’m not on the upper limit of being overweight or even worse, obese! The BMI calculators are meant for a general audience that doesn’t really work out as much as I do (6-7 times a week for at least 30-60 minutes).
I finally found a BMI calculator that is corrected for lean body mass in the formula and is shifted so that it does not just assume you are pear-shaped… check it out:
Body Mass Index – Lean Body Mass
Here’s another calculator that also takes into account your waist size and gives more info than just the BMI number
