Edit BMI?

Is there a way to edit my BMI? It seems that it is way too low for my height and weight...

Body Fat Percentage and BMI are different measurements. BMI is calculated based on height and weight. As height is not a modifiable biometric, it remains that weight is the only modifiable factor of BMI, making weight and BMI directly correlated. While BMI can be a useful and easy estimation to measure health, it is not an accurate reflection of body fat percentage. Body fat percentage is not directly correlated with Body weight and stands alone as its own measurement. If you have measured your body fat you can add the value you have found by adding a biometric. You can do this by selecting "Add Biometric" on your diary screen and then choosing "% Body Fat" from the drop-down menu.

Thank you, that clears it up. So BMI is calculated by Cronometer and body fat % is something I can enter in my daily diary.
