Those people that continuously workout in order to build muscles may not receive accurate information from the BMI ratio. Because muscle weighs much more than fat, a person who has a much lower fat content will likely receive higher BMI ratios which do not reflect a need for losing fat. A less body fat a person has, the lesser chance for the BMI ratio to really be helpful to the user. However, in most instances, the BMI ratio will be helpful for informing those people about whether or not they should implement a fat reduction program.
