Height and weight IS how BMI is calculated. The problem I'd that BMI is not a good measure of overall health, which even recognize.
BMI calculations
So Glow is giving me advise on my BMI, according to the BMI charts I am overweight... In reality I am not. I am 5'0" and 130 pounds size 2 pants small top.. I am a clean eater, mostly organic with a few indulgences from time to time, and exercise almost daily for 60+ minutes either cardio or strength training. If Glow is making assumptions on my BMI based on two small factors, height and weight, how do I know if their assumptions of my fertility are correct?

Oh, don't worry about it!! I'm 5'3 and 140 pounds. Glow thinks I am overweight as well. My BMI is slightly over what it should be, but I too eat organic, my boyfriend and I eat Paleo (meats and veggies/cavemen style). I am very active in sports and exersise almost every day. BMI doesn't take into account your muscle mass, and by what you told us, it seems as though you have quite a bit of muscle, as do I. Honestly, don't worry about it. It is how you feel, not your physical weight .
Other measurements from different parts of your body (ie arms, legs, calves, waist) are also factors in BMI not just height and weight.

If you Google BMI calculator you will see.

that's actually not true. this are factored in for body fat percentage, which is different from body mass index (BMI).
