How do you calculate your frame size to obtain an accurate BMI calculation?

Q. Also, does anyone know the site with the best BMI calculator - including a calculator that considers half inch height measurements?

A. I like this one. But you do HAVE to hit calculate BMI or else it won't work. I just did mine at 5'8.5" and it didn't have an issue with it.

This one is the one from the CDC (Center for Disease Control). If anyone is gonna have a good BMI calculator the CDC is. The links have one for kids/teens and adults. Again, did mine for 5'8.5" and it worked no issue.

I hope that helps.

What exactly does your BMI indicate, and is it something to use as a guideline to weightloss?

Q. When dieting, and what have you, how important is your BMI number, and is a good indication of much weight you need to loose?

A. BMI is Body Mass Index and it is nothing more than statistics based on averages. BMI is only a small indicator, body fat % and water % are much more important.

BMI does not take into account the three different body types which is a very big flaw in the system.

For example a very muscular people can have a bad BMI while their body fat might be below 15%.

I am not a big fan of BMI, but it is a place to start.
