    Well, BMI is a fixed formula so it would be pointless to let users enter that info.

    I suggest that you increase the entered length until you get the desired BMI. I believe that the length only affects the stride length so make sure that it stays at the correct value for you.

    That is then not the BMI (Body Mass Index), since the BMI is defined exactly as shown in the formula as the body mass divided by the square of the body height. You probably mean the Fat and Muscle percentages - unlike the BMI, those are indeed depending on your muscles and fat.

    And no, you cannot enter the BMI manually, since it is calculated by the definition formula. However, you can override the calculated value by importing the weight data in a CSV file formatted in the following way:

    Body
    Date,Weight,BMI,Fat
    "2022-08-31","78.90","23.45","12.34"
