As we all know, people who train often get told that they are "obese" by BMI calculators.. here's something I found on another forum I go on. It's called BBI.

This page offers an online BMI calculator but much more than that, it's a BBI calculator!
BMI stands for Body Mass Index and it is an official medical definition but it suffers from a major problem, which is that it is pretty useless for bodybuilders. A lean ripped bodybuilder is likely to score highly on the BMI, with a false fat or "obese" classification.
In contrast to the BMI the Biggly Body Index or BBI takes a variety of different aspects of your physique and then calculates an overall score, up to a maximum of 100%.
To be 100% Biggly is not easy. It is more than simply "not fat" and you'll score low if you're too skinny too, because it is based around the ideal human physique, such as the ideal hip to waist ratio etc.
