What would be more accurate the myfitnesspal.com BMI or I have a Thinner weight scale and it does weight, bmi, and how much water is in your body. My BMI is lower on my scale than the site says just by a couple points though. Just wondering to if it caused by the water in my body. Any suggestions?

    It's a pretty simple formula bmi = kg / (height in meters)^2

    I've seen some differences when converted to imperial measurements - there's a factor...
    bmi = (lbs * factor) / (height in inches) ^2

    The difference I think comes from some places use 702 and others 703 for the factor. I'd bet that's the difference between the 2.
