Actually, you MUST have your BMI done by someone with more than a calculator and your height/weight. I remember waay back in wrestling, we all went for physicals to make sure we didn't keel over in practice, what they do is take a caliper (I think that's what it's called) and locate an area around one of your shoulder blades, then try to "pinch an inch". At least that what it seemed like they were doing, since I haven't got eyes in the back of my head. I'm sure it was more complicated than that, but I was in high school and it didn't matter so much. Point being, if insurance companies are just doing BMI with height/weight measurements, they all deserve to be punched in the nose by 300 lb. people built like Mr. Universe.
