Meum asked in Food & DrinkVegetarian & Vegan · 1 decade ago

Are you a vegetarian/vegan and what is your BMI?

http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

I'm a vegan and mine is 18.6.

I'm just curious to know what we have out there. I'm not necessarily looking for a correlation.

Update:

Kirbyish, that may be the case for individuals, but collectively, it is actually the best way to determine healthy weights because there are some who have a lot of muscle and some who don't, so it all evens out.

    Vegan: 23.0

    As mentioned before though, BMI is crap:

    Half my (all female) rowing squad in high school were considered obese... and trust me, they were tanks... solid muscle :)

    18.8, but BMI is total crap. Someone who is 200 lbs of muscle will have the same BMI as someone with 200 lbs of fat.

    ETA: 5'11, 135.

    bmi is not accurate always,

    mine is supposedly 19.1(5'5 115pds.)

    oh and im vegan

    but then bmi would have no personal use, cause it could be way off.
