A BMI of 21 is on the low end of normal ... but imo the BMI thing is a copout,
anyway. A bodybuilder will have a high BMI because they have a lot of muscle,
not because they are fat. Percentage of body fat is a much more useful
number, but is harder to measure.


Indeed. The rugby player, Jonah Lomu (sp?) apparently had a BMI of
somewhere near 30. I believe that's classed as "obese". Pity the
foolish person that would have the nerve to go up to him and tell him
that!
