BMI stands for Body Mass Index and it is considered a reliable indicator of total body fat, which is related to the risk of disease and death. The score measures body weight corrected for height and it is valid for both men and women. It is widely used in both research and clinical settings because measurements of height and weight are easy, quick, and relatively noninvasive. But BMI does have some limits. Obesity indices cannot be used to distinguish between excessive weight produced by musculature, adipose tissue or water retention. 
No matter how healthy and physically fit a person is, the main goal of
any personal training program is improved body composition. This means
an increase in lean muscle tissue and decrease in adipose (fat)
tissue. So why is it that 2 people can be doing identical exercises
and resistance trainings yet one person gets much better results than
the other? Answer: The person getting better results knows that
exercise is only half the equation. Timing and quality of meals is the
other half. Replenishing your body with high quality, concentrated
protein packed with the perfect combination of amino acids will ensure
that your body is able to rebuild the muscle tissue that is torn down
during a hard training. Nutrition Counseling
