BMI does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or where fat is distributed in your body. Athletes often have a high BMI but low body fat. Always talk to a healthcare provider for a full assessment.
If your BMI is below 18.5 or above 25, a conversation with a healthcare provider is a good idea. Weight changes in either direction can affect your heart, blood sugar, joints, and energy levels.
