Bug Description
Version: WTODS 2.2.1
I'm using the metric system to record my daily weight but I found out that the reported BMI was incorrect ( I calculated my BMI using another online service). On a whim, I converted all my measurements into the standard system ( lbs/ inch ) instead of the metric system and I got completely different results.
Steps to reproduce:
1)Download a fresh copy of the spreadsheet.
2)Change the Config. Options and input a certain starting weight and height (standard format).
3)Create a bunch of fictitious (or real if you want) entries using the standard (lbs) system.
4)Record the BMI, delta Cal/day.
5)Change the Config Options and input the same weight and height but using the metric system.
6)Convert your previously entered readings to the metric system.
7)Record the BMI, delta Cal/day.
8)Compare the two values.
In my case, the recorded values differ.
I'm using the latest version of the WTODS 2.2.1
2-a) I didnot set a starting trend set.
2-b) I didnot fill all of the listed dates.

How inconsistent are the calculations? Is the BMI completely off for metric, or could it be from the rounding?
