There's a few self-proclaimed nutritional/exercise experts here at work who have been touting the Body Mass Index as the do-all, end-all to personal health. From my limited knowledge of the BMI, it's nothing more than a table that tries to put everybody in a cookie cutter. "If you're this tall you shouldn't weigh more than this much." It makes no allowences for BF%, genetics, etc. Am I even close to being correct? Do you know of any good studies that have proven the BMI to be good, bad, neither or both? Thanks.
