Every person has a healthy weight that they should be consciously attempting to maintain. Athletes with a lot of muscle will be outside that healthy BMI range. But it's a real number. It's the bulls eye. And it's easy to know because those BMI charts are there for everyone.
Personally I think it's important to know that number and to try to hit that target. It's true that if you don't know what you're aiming at you're not likely to hit it.
There are certainly socioeconomic, physiological and psychological differences among us, so that what works for one person will not work for others. But the CI/CO formula will work for everyone. If you're overweight eat less, underweight eat more. And what a person eats matters as much as how much.
I find it much easier to maintain an optimal weight eating whole foods instead of refined, processed, chemical laden, feel-good wannabes, and feel better to boot. But to each his own in getting to that target number.
