Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What else besides height/weight ratio is used to determine BMI?
I know this was sort of answered before, but BMI is height divided by the square of weight, then multiplied by some constant which I can't remember right now. So, pretty much what that means is that, in the old height/weight ratio system, it was considered that, for each inch of height, you should have a certain number of pounds. In the BMI system, you're "allowed" more pounds/inch for each additional inch.
So, if you consider 5'6" and 125 pounds as the baseline for "ideal," then BMI says "ideal" for someone 5'0" is 103.3. Height/weight says it's 113.6. On the other hand, using that same baseline, BMI says "ideal" for someone 6'0" is 148.8, while height/weight says 136.
IOW, I'm 4'10", and really hate the BMI scale.

What is even happening?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if you consider 5'6" and 125 pounds as the baseline for "ideal,"
Well, that's where the trouble starts, isn't it?

Oh, man. For a giggle, I calculated the BMI of my body at 0% fat?
Still in the normal/healthy range per BMI.
You know, I promise I'll shut up about the joys of body composition analysis, I really will, it's just that it's gone and sporked about a trillion of my BIDs in one go, and right now, I'm still feeling a little buzzed from that.

Just needed some numbers to plug in, so that I'd get actual numbers coming out at the end, instead of variables. And I now realize that I didn't need to think about "ideal" at all -- just needed to put it as "what weight would give an equivalent height/weight ratio" and "what weight would give an equivalent BMI".
