I believe it assumes that most people carry very little muscle mass.
because they dont. Last study i saw estimated only 12% of the population does any form of resistance training atleast once per week and less than 10% lift weights once a week
if less than 10% of your population is doing any form of lifting what do you expect. Less than 5% are actually lifting weights in a progessive manner consistenly enough to accumulate any real muscle, atleast enough to throw off the BMI to any significant degree
so bmi is accurate for 90-95% of the population
why would we not use it to track the population as a whole?
all the guys in here talk about looking like a skeleton at certain weights, yet would love to look like they did in HS.....newsflash....that skeleton look you talk about....thats the look you had in HS and you didnt look like a skeleton, you looked in shape.

These guys have no idea how hard it is to get big. During Covid I did a ton of running since the gyms were closed, and since I've worked hard on my strength. I've gained 15 lbs and put like 50 lbs on my squat, for example, and was already lifting before that. My BMI is between 25 and 26. If you are going to be lean at 28 or 29 BMI, you're going to be massive and you are going to be doing a shite ton of volume, not going to a Planet Fitness 3 days a week for 45 minutes.
These guys have no clue.
