    Do they have a BMI calculator based on body types? It is impossible for me to reach a “normal” BMI of 25.0 without having 5%, or less, body fat.

    Not that I'm aware of. But there are some charts out there that will guesstimate your frame size, and tell you where you should be on the BMI chart from there. My husband has a similar problem. He has a big bone structure, and even at his fittest he's ever been BMI told him he was over weight. It's not a very reliable measure of health IMO.

    Try the Military Body Fat Calculator for Calculating Your Body Fat Percentage, this what the US Army and Marines use.
