What BMI actually tells you
BMI is a single number that relates your weight to your height. It was designed for populations, not individuals — a fast way to flag whether someone's weight might warrant a closer look. That's its strength and its limit: useful as a screening signal, misleading if treated as a verdict.
It can't see the difference between muscle and fat, and it says nothing about where fat sits on your body — which matters more for health than the raw number. Read your result as a starting point for a conversation, not a diagnosis.
