Title: Bmi Scores

Why do I get different results when I use different BMI calculators to try and find my "ideal weight"?

One says I should be one weight, another says I should be a little less, another a little more?

If you could offer any explanation, that would be great.

Thank you

    BMI scores aren't exact measurements. They are meant to be approximations and they can completely misrepresent the facts.

    Example: 5'9" man weighs 160 lbs... wow nearly perfect score... prime health... but wait he's a malnourished alcoholic with a load of fat and no muscle to speak of.

    Example: 5'9" man weighs 215 lbs. Wow is this guy ever fat right? 'fraid not he's actually got a bodyfat of 5.9% (very good) but is very muscular.

    There is no such thing as an ideal weight. of my 2 brothers one is 6'3" and 183, the other is 6'1" and 207 and both of them are in GREAT shape.
