I like to stay healthy and check my BMI from time to time. I dont use the NHS calculator very often but it always says I am ok for my height and dfall in the healthy correct weight category. When you use this site, it give you various ethinicity options according to what race you are. I am multi racial which means I am one quarter black and 3 thirds whitee. When I have calculated mdy BMI before i have always refused to state what race i am and clicked prefer not to say. This time I picked multi racial and the outcome at the end said I am considered overweight. I went back on and put in my height and weight and clicked white and it came out as I was in the healthy category and the correct weight for my height.
Why should a black or asian person with the same readings as me be considered overweight and yet a white person would not be classed as overweight? A person is a person irrispective of where they come from and the amount of fat on someones body should be the same regardless and it depends on genetics and what you eat. I come from a family of very slim people and have a healthy diet
dont get it
