I am underweight (?)


Wow. That's a new one. My brother tells me my calves are horrendously huge (even my mum has got leaner calves!) and my legs are a shame *sighs* And then I came across this BMI calculator on the Watsons' site and hey presto! It tells me I'm underweight!?

Your Calculated BMI is: 17.5

UNDERWEIGHT
You are under the optimum weight for your height. You could afford to gain a little weight. Being underweight can affect your health. You may develop:
Malnourishment
- Compromised immune function
- Respiratory disease
- Tuberculosis
- Digestive disease
- Cancer
- Osteoporosis


BMI Calculator
UNDERWEIGHT = <18.5>
Normal = 18.5-24.9
OVERWEIGHT = 25-29.9
Obesity = >30


Geesh.
