Two days ago I was climbing at a local sport crag. One of the climbers was John Wesely. Along with noticing that I looked extremely malnourished, though still climbing at an extremely middling level, not even onsighting 13s, it became apparent that I am at least trying my best.
Incidentally, I know my own height and weight as 190 cm (6'3"), 67 kg (150 lbs).
So I put those numbers into a BMI calculator and came up with this
Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 18.4 , placing the BMI-for-age at the 3rd percentile for girls aged 18 years 7 months. This young adult is underweight and should be seen by a healthcare provider for further assessment to determine possible causes of underweight.
Being a person who is not a terribly competitive climber, it concerns me a little.
Thoughts?
