Are BMI calculations complete B.S.?
BMI’s are a useful measure for people who have a reason to be concerned about whether their weight is appropriate. Athletes or people who train like them are generally past that point. Unfortunately the measures to get an accurate body fat % are expensive and not exactly portable (impedance and calipers both suck). So BMI is a useful guideline. Also, as you join the senior brigade, weight is probably a small risk factor independent of composition. But that depends on the study.
