I'm down 47 lb since January (starting at 284, 6'2") but according to the BMI, I have about 40 lbs to get to high Normal. I can see where 20 lb could come from but I have big skating legs and I think I'll be quite lean (though not NHL-player lean) at 210-215. |
I personally don't put any stock in a calculator I can find online, but I guess to each their own. These calculators have no way of determining whether or not you're actually healthy, it just computes numbers that you give to it. I put my stock in a Dr. and a registered dietitian (so long as they don't start spouting BMI at me).
