B.M.I.
Sunday, 21. October 2007, 04:06:11
So Friday I met with my friend Steph & he decided we should calculate our B.M.I. (Body Mass Index) at the local drug store.
You can calculate yours here.
A B.M.I reading of 20 to 25 is considered ‘ideal’. Under 20 would be considered Underweight & over 25 is Overweight.
I weigh 136 lbs & I’m 6 feet tall.
My B.M.I. is 18.4 …so after seeing my readout Steph tells me… “You’re underweight” ..& I was like... “I knew that”
Anyway for my height, the machine says my 'ideal weight' is between 147.6lbs - 184.5lbs. Who knows if I'll ever reach that? but you know me... I'm not one to complain.
On a related note.. I feel hungry. Hmph… figures.
(This simple test doesn't take muscle mass or bone density into account. muscular athletes & Furie beware)
