Your Body Mass Index indicates that you are overweight.

One of my assignments asked me to analyse someone's body mass index based on their statistics so I thought I'd enter my stats into CalorieKing while I was there and:

"Based on your BMI, you are overweight and should aim to reduce your weight to between 69 and 91 kg.
"

(I am sitting between 92 and 93kg)

Losing this amount of weight will not only affect your appearance but also decreases your chances of developing many major health risks.

This alone leads me to question the BMI scale. I suppose it is designed for more sedentry people and doesn't account for me being jacked. Does it?
