I Weight 160 LB. Height 5'9

Does my BMI or system use tell you if I am a fat ass or skinny ass.

Maybe a few month ago before nursing home I was weighing 134 LB and would average 128-136 LB per doctor in previous months before lets say august.

BMI is total crap. It doesn't factor bone density, muscle mass or build into it.

My dad, for example, is 5'10" and very muscular - he's an ex-military man - and he happens to have a big frame, yet BMI says that he's overweight, which he's not at all.
