I may look fat, but I did a BMI Calculation, and I am of normal weight, even though I have man-breasts.

BMI is a bad measurement to use unless you're the extreme side of either skinny or fat. In which case you can see by looking what the person is or not.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but BMI is probably one of the least accurate ways to determine that kind of thing.

Everybody has a different body type and can't necessarily be measured on the same scale.

Using a BMI scale, sumo wrestler's are not considered obese. Just saying.

BMI is such bullshit.

People like Reggie Bush are considered overweight, and NFL linebackers are obese.

BMI is a joke. It doesn't calculate body fat, just weight to height ratio.

You do realize, yes they are quite fat, but much stronger than they look. a lot of that "fat" is padding for their exquisite muscle mass.

Yes, that totally justifies their man boobs. Sounds good to me.

Apparently, I am, only slightly, though. But hell, when you're about 6'2", being 200 pounds really isn't that bad. And compared to all the obese cows I see every day, I'm in pretty good shape, better than most really. BMI is in no way a reliable indicator of whether one is overweight or not.

Being 6'2" and 200 pounds? That doesn't even seem a little overweight to me. Not for that height and body type.

Yeah the top end of "normal weight" is small manboobs and a gut.

You don't want to have that.

Normal weight, by today's standards, has become rather depressing. Obesity or over weight shouldn't be considered "the norm".

do NOT rely on BMI for anything. It is an application over 100 years old, and does NOT appeal to today's standards of weight and obesity. Hell just google "BMI is bullshit" and you'll find plenty of support for that fact.

You don't need BMI to tell you that you're over weight or not. If you have moobs you need to do something about it.

It's a BMI of 25. 7 - a BMI from 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. Complete bullshit, though; I'm not overweight, regardless of what the outdated BMI system tells me.

My BMI was like 16 or something. I don't remember, it was awhile since I had to check for an assignment in class. At the time I was overweight though, it really didn't make sense.

You know.. sumo wrestlers do a lot of exercising, and even overeating is an important thing from them.

Meh, if you don't work out you should aim for like 21-22 and it's fine.

But's it's mostly valid for men. A woman with a 22 BMI has severe muffintop.
