It's really not. BMI is wildly outdated, and especially doesn't deal well with anybody who has a larger body frame. At the thinnest I've ever been in my life, when you could see every rib hanging out, I was still forty pounds heavier than what BMI charts calculated my weight ought to be.

That is false. BMI has been shown to be highly correlated with body fat, and remains the only practical method for large scale screening.
