BMI is calculated using the equation...
BMI = ( Weight in lbs / (Height in inches2 ) x 703
Notice that nowhere in the equation is there any consideration for muscle mass. It was developed back in the late 1800's. I suppose it's fine for somehow who lives a sedentary life, but not for someone who has any above average amount of muscle mass.
