Can you have a good figure and still have a bad BMI?

Answer by  Feasel (1766)

You definitely can look good even if you don't have the greatest BMI. BMI does not account for muscle mass, so you can be considered OBESE if you're just very muscular. The main thing is to eat right, and get some exercise. It also depends on where your fat distributes as well.

BMI is calculated using height and weight. If height and weight are not proportional, the BMI will be high and thus unhealthy. BMI has nothing to do with a "good figure" or how much an individual eats or exercises.
