Rugby Star Ilona Maher is Awesome

hi thank you for this comment I think you were trying to roast me but this is actually a fact I do have a BMI of 30 well 29.3 to be more exact I've been considered overweight my whole life in middle school elementary school high school I was always considered overweight I remember vividly one time in high school I had to turn into physical to the office and right at the bottom of the page it said overweight and I was so embarrassed to turn that in and to to have that written there so my whole life I've been this way um I chatted with my dietitian because I go off of you know facts and not just what what pops up here you know like you do um and we talked about BMI and we talked about how it really isn't helpful for athletes BMI doesn't tell you much it just tells you what your height and weight and what that equals uh I've said it before I'm 510 200 lb and I have about and it's this is an estimate but about 170 lb of lean mass on me do that math in your head you probably can't um that's pretty crazy right and that BMI doesn't really tell you what I can do it doesn't tell you what I do on the field how fit I am it's just a couple numbers put together it doesn't tell you how much muscle I have or anything like that so yeah I do have a BMI of 30 I am considered overweight but alas I'm going to the Olympics and you're not
