💡 Why track your BMI?
Knowing your BMI helps to: -Monitor your weight changes over time -Identify the risk of metabolic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases) -Adjust your diet and physical activity according to your profile
⚠️ Is BMI 100% reliable?
Although practical and quick to calculate, BMI does not take body composition into account (the distribution between muscle, fat, and bone). Thus:A very muscular athlete may have a high BMI without being overweight.A sedentary person with little muscle mass may have a normal BMI but excess body fat .👉 Therefore, BMI should be complemented by other measurements:Waist circumferenceBody fat percentageLevel of physical activity
