BMI is pretty harsh for me.
Based on my height, it puts me in the obese category.49.2 to 66.4kg is healthy range supposedly.
I look a bit chubby at the moment but definitely not obese. I have a decent amount of muscle, particular in my legs and I still (just about) fit in small t shirts.
It’s a workable metric, not so much for the more muscly outliers.

I appreciate that it’s a discredited metric hence it’s not been mentioned, but the BMI is pretty brutal!!
Too end for the acceptable zone for my height and age is more than I weighed in my early 20s when I was running competitively and playing tennis seriously (and, from looking back at photos, I didn’t have any spare).
Is there a better/more realistic metric to consider?
