RE: Did you mean body fat percentage?

It's cool to give negative nerd-its when you're a moderator and someone points out a clear inaccuracy in your post.....

RE: Did you mean body fat percentage? by VnutZ :: NR8

Negative nerd-its can be given by anyone.

Again, quoting CDC, "Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems."

BMI = indication of fat body fatness and body fatness = % of body that is fat

therefore it follows that BMI = % of body that is fat

Why don't you tell me how a BMI of 20 is different than a 20% Body Fatness Percentage.
