BMI (as a diagnostic tool for overweight and obesity) has some problems, but it's good enough for most people most of the time. The measurement is FAR less likely to return a false positive (due to someone being "too jacked") than it is to correctly identify some who is carrying too much body fat. In any case, BMI plus a waist circumference measurement is even more accurate, and is still an easy, accessible and useful clinical diagnostic measurement.
