BMI doesn't differentiate between muscle and fat or account for how either is distributed. That means sedentary folk and short people have an unfair advantage over athletes and those who are tall. "A waist-to-height ration is an easy, accurate alternative," says Mitchell Lazar, M.D., PH.D., a coauthor of a recent article on the subject. your waist circumference should be less than half of your height (both measured in inches)."
 
Remember to measure at your natural waist like the lady in the pic above!
