I was always told that muscle weighs twice as much as fat. Those
weight charts are stupid.  It's better to see how you fit in your clothes than to go by a scale.

These charts seem outdated so maybe
they don't think women can be athletes.

I kept hearing a report on BMI the last few days
They act like it's this new great indicator...but it's still just height and weight with no consideration for what type of tissue is being weighed.  For a measurement to be useful it's got to include measurements, or % fat, or something more.  They did admit that in ATHLETIC men, the measurement was inaccurate...but what about athletic women?  No mention for them...
