BMI is a simple and widely used measure to estimate body fat based on height and weight. It’s a quick way to assess whether you’re underweight, overweight, or within a healthy weight range. However, BMI has its cons—it doesn’t differentiate between muscle and fat, nor does it account for distribution of fat, leading to potential misclassification.
