    Yesterday I readed an article in a magazine, it was about the health of Webmasters, who work daily several hours on the computer and only eat fast food. The author said that the average BMI of a webmaster is over 25 (overweight)!

    For those who don't know what the BMI is:

    BMI= Body mass index. This bmi (body mass index) is calculated from your Weight and Height. (a kind of ratio).

    A BMI between 20-25 is normal.

    What is your BMI?

    Use the link below and calculate yours and put it into the poll.

    Nice, if you are a male, 22-23 would be best.

    Ive been running 10 miles a day and working out for an hour every single day for the last 2.5 months and ive gained 8 pounds. I guess my 5000 calorie any thing I want diet doesnt help.

    I don't really feel like gaining weight! I just think my metabolism is fast.... but I don't like how BMI doesn't measure the weight from fat versus muscles..

    BMI is BS (in my case).

    It says for my height I'd be overweight at 160lbs...

    that 150 lbs would be normal :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    unless I became terminally ill that would never happen.

    I would have to burn 2K calories a day and consume only 1K for 2.5 yrs to get down to 150lbs and then no telling what I would have to do in order to maintain.

    basically it would be a FULL time job.

    am I overweight now? of course but that's beside the point. The BMI is radically skewed in my case.
