Dear Jeffery;

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a relationship between weight and height that has been found to correlate well with body fat in most adults. There are exceptions, however.

BMI should not be used to assess competitive athletes and body builders because in these individuals, a high BMI can be due to a relatively great muscle mass. It sounds as though you fall into this category.
