BMI cannot distinguish between muscle mass and adipose tissue. This means muscular athletes can be classified as overweight or obese, while individuals with low muscle mass can have a normal BMI despite having high levels of body fat.
Bottleneck: Assuming a high BMI is always unhealthy.
Solution: Pair your BMI reading with a waist-to-hip ratio or a Navy body fat circumference calculation.
