bmi is bullshit anyway but i just realized adult bmi is calculated like.with ur height and weight and the bmi is what's used to determine ur bmi category (if ur "underweight" or "normal" or "overweight" or "obese"). whereas when youre a kid they calculate it with ur height and weight and then compare it to the bmis of other kids your age and THATS how they decide ur bmi category. not by how your body actually Is but by comparing it to other people. DOES THAT SEEM FUCKED UP TO ANYONE ELSE.
