Stay on Track with Your Health Goals Using a BMI Calculator

While a BMI calculator is useful, it does have its limitations. It does not differentiate between muscle and fat. For example, athletes or bodybuilders may have a high BMI due to muscle mass, not excess fat. Similarly, it does not account for factors like age, gender, or bone density. Therefore, it should be used as a guideline rather than a final verdict on health.
