Yeah I can see how people might not like the system because mustle does weigh more than fat I mean you could be like 5,5 and be piped out and weight like 215lbs that dont mean your overwight it just means you got lots of mustle tissue. (who made this system?)

"It was developed by the Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet in the course of working out his system of "social physics", between 1830 and 1850"

yeah my BMI suggests that i am approaching overweight which is certainly misleading

28.8

I'm in the upper overweight region, very close to being obese. But I have a body fat % of about 10.. BMI is crap.
