Can you tell me about ideal body mass index?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
BMI: In general, ideal BMI should be between 20-25. A BMI of 25-30 is overweight, and BMI's over 30 are considered obese. However, it should also be noted that BMI does not take into account body composition (muscle/fat).
