Yeah, BMI is crap. I won't say that I'm in peak condition ('cause if I did, that would be really funny), but I eat right and my lack of car means that I have no choice but to be at least *somewhat* active, and I'm... ok, I'm like 5'9" (175 cm) and hover around 190 lbs (about 85 kg), but I don't think anyone would call me fat.
BMI doesn't take into account body types. Personally, I'm stout. My shoulders are broad for my height, and my legs are stocky. Do I have a gut? Yeah. Do I have manboobs? A little. But BMI would call me obese.
Screw them. The military says the only thing wrong with me physically are my eyes (which suck). I trust a person who's looked at me way more than a glorified slide-rule.
