TAGS: BMI (Body Mass Index), BMR (Basal Metabolism Rate) and Daily Caloric Needs Calculation, US Navy Advantages and limitations of BMI: The main advantages of BMI as a body fat indicator are: BMI is very easy to measure. Only two parameters, height and weight are required which can be easily measured by common people. As it is accepted as a general standard for measuring body fat, a person can compare his health with others. The limitations of BMI are: BMI can't discriminate between body fat and muscle. So a body builder may find himself as obese in BMI scale. Age and sex are not considered in BMI measurement. So analysis of BMI varies with those parameters. Though no online method can give you accurate measurement of your body fat, the waist circumference method developed by US Navy gives you much better prediction.
