BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 (Normal Weight)
People whose BMI is within 18.5 to 24.9 possess the ideal amount of body weight, associated with living longest, the lowest incidence of serious ilness, as well as being perceived as more physically attractive than people with BMI in higher or lower ranges. However, it may be a good idea to check your Waist Circumference and keep it within the recommended limits.
BMI is a terrible way of checking health and overall weight class. Body-fat and muscle weight is the best jurisdiction. Don't believe me?
Nate Robinson- 5ft9in, 180 lbs, 26.58 (BMI) which is overweight.

I can go on, but yeah, only reason why I'm stating it is, people who might be underweight over overweight by this calculator's description might feel insecure or some BS like that, which in most cases not the case. And yes, this is the case for regular people not just athletes. <_<

Also, I would like to point out that the BMI is flawed because there's Muscle weight vs Fat weight and BMI just takes it all together. One can have a BMI of 24.90 and be slim (muscular build) but the BMI system will be saying you're fat. (overweight)
bmi doesn't tell you how much you weigh it just tells you the percent of fat you have
my bmi last time i checked was 22% but im 246 lbs. so im still considered obese...its a dumb system imo
