Get off the couch if your BMI is overweight/obese

doesnt make much sense? there is no difference for women or men?

 

[winkyduck]

6'1"/185

BMI of 24.4 (which is also a rating of my looks on a 1-10 scale)

Very hard with just HT and WGT being measured to have an accurate reading.

No there's not. Your BMI has nothing to do with gender, only with your height and weight.

so, if you are 6'0 solid muscle and you get a rating of being obese??

 

[SubZaero]

Yes Big bet, Your BMI would be one of an obese person, your body fat % is a complete different thing and I think that's what you are getting confused.

These sortive charts do not factor in people who have a decent amount of muscle...reality is anyone who is not in good shape should know this by they way they feel and look.

 

[Journeyman]

Its saying I`m obese..

I have a 32 inch waist and I am obese lol

Dante,
Relax buddy. I'm sure the Shrink will still find you irresistable this year in Vegas

 

[Matt24]

5'8 166 overweight. Yeah right. I was 5'8 175 in high school when I was at my strongest

That BMI chart is more worthless than Railbird's LLWS evaluations.... It means absolutely nada.

I got a 32.3 so what do this mean
