Re: BMI FAQ

Well 1st ignore the BMI reading entirely and concentrate on bodyfat %. Unfortunately those meters are terrible. There are some decent calculators out there that you measure various body parts but the best way I've seen to tell bodyfat percentage is your abs.
You can look at your mirror and tell your bodyfat percentage!
