Neat little thing I found on reddit. Don't know how accurate it is, but still fairly neat.
Apparently I have a lower BMI than 91% of Canadian males between ages of 15-20 and lower than 71% of the world between 15-20

You can't just judge by weight though.

What if someone has huge muscles yet low fat?

 

[KaerfNomekop]

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 100,475,214 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population.

Which means, according to the scale, everybody is "near starvation".

What if someone has huge muscles yet low fat?

then they still have the BMI. this kinda works unless your a body builder or something like that.

The BMI works regardless whether you have too much fat or too much muscles, its just the wrong questions around it.
It will not tell you if you are obese or something, it is just an index, a number, you have to give it a meaning yourself.
