Are BMI scales worth it?

Question

I’m very overweight for my height and really need to start working on my health and fitness.  I’m just wondering if anyone has a BMI scale? Are they worth having? I’m d bating on purchasing one

Answer

I wouldn't waste your money. Your bmi could easily be overestimating or underestimating your body fat. Your BMI doesn't take into consideration your bone density or muscle mass either

Answer

Measuring BMI is so outdated. Unfortunately it’s still the protocol but it isn’t accurate at all. It takes your weight and height and tells you based off that whether you’re overweight. It doesn’t account for muscle. Every time my BMI is taken, I’m either overweight or *just* on the verge of being overweight however I am not at all overweight and anybody would say that just by looking at me. It may be be a good start if you’re already overweight but keep in mind that if you have a lot of muscle, it’ll continue to tell you that until you’re quite possibly unhealthily thin. I’m speaking from a fitness and health background.

Answer

No. They're not accurate at all.

Answer

I like my scale because it tells muscle mass too.
