Target weights in app are wrong for short women

I’m 156 cm tall (5’1.5”) with slight bones and am tired of being told by your app that I’m underweight. Diversity cuts both ways. I’m 44 kilos, mostly muscle, and eat on average 1700 calories a day, 1300 if I want to lose fat. Our culture tells short people things are wrong with our bodies every single day in a variety of ways already. If you’re trying to promote mental health around weight fix this feature to be inclusive of short, small-boned women.
