For those people of approximately average height, the standard BMI calculator is fine. For the rest of us, it really doesn't cut it. See my latest post "New BMI calculator" for details.
Why not have an option on the site to figure out one's BMI using the new calculator? If you don't appreciate the difference there can be (because maybe you are a typical 5'6" woman), just try calculating your BMI using the two different methods, and pretending you are 4'10" and then 6'4".
Thanks!
