BMI is a poor measurement as it stands alone.

Since I was doing my measurements, weight, and body fat today, I went ahead and figured my BMI as well just for this thread. My BMI is 31.07 and would be classified as obese. But my body fat this morning is 12% and I wear a size 6 pants. As I'm sure you've already gotten from the previous threads, BMI means nothing when you are a serious exerciser. As for my goals, I'm at my goal body fat %. Technically, I am only planning on maintaining below 15% for the next year while I'm transitioning to a new school, new house in another state, and new job, so I'm below goal.
Are you 12% BF in your profile pictures?
No, those were taken 6 months ago. I was about 17% body fat then.
Since your profile says you are a certified trainer and a sports nutritionist, I looked at your diary. Is your diary real? As a sports nutritionist, I am wondering if you would advise your clients to drink all that regular pepsi (sugar) and consume so many carbs and relatively low on protein.
thanks
Also, the amount of sugar you eat is totally irrelevant for fitness unless you have diabetes or another type of insulin resistance/metabolic disorder. Sugar, simple sugar specifically, can actually be a great energy source for hard performance, as it's taken up very quickly by the body for immediate use. Now, limiting sugar can be helpful for fat loss, but at 12% body fat, I doubt she's looking to lose any fat.0 -

-

not sure why you answered a question that was directed to someone else. and I respectfully disagree with you on dumping all that sugar into anyones body, diabetic or not.0 -
Currently down to a BMI of 25.8 from a whopping 46.8 :bigsmile: But I've learned not to put too much emphasis on it. It was more useful to me when I was bigger, now it's practically useless!0

Yes, my diary is real. I've actually had this question quite often, so I wrote a blog post about it a few months ago so I quit having to explain it over and over and over. You can read that here about halfway down the page if you are interested. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TrainingWithTonya
Would I recommend my eating plan for everyone? No. Would I recommend it for someone who isn't as active as I am? No. Would I recommend it for someone else who does the activity I do and has the medical issues I do? Yes. All dietary recommendations should look at the individual and their specific needs because there is no perfect program for everyone. Each of my clients gets their program designed to meet their needs, not mine. Anyone who tells you that nutrition is one size fits all is either lying or uneducated. There are some health issues that actually require white bread and processed foods, and others that require a high protein intake, and still others that require cutting protein down to no more then 0.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. It all depends on the person, their activity level, their physical status (Diseases, not just training), and their goals. If my eating plan doesn't work for you, that's fine, because I'm not asking you to follow it. Since I've cut my body fat from 30% to 12% in a year, its working well for me. And what works for the individual doing it is all that really matters.0 -

ok...fair enough...just seems all that regular pepsi would be too much sugar for any diet or any need...but if it works for you then it works for you...good luck0 -
