What's your BMI?

I realise there was a large thread & poll on this subject done a couple of years ago, but it only stated the main BMI categories (underweight, normal, overweight, obese), but I was curious on a slightly more detailed scale (NB. I could only have 16 poll options so had to go up in twos).

So here's the calculator...

Below 18.5 - Underweight

18.5 to 24.9 - Healthy weight

25.0 to 29.9 - Overweight

30 to 39.9 - Obese

40 and above - Morbidly obese

20.39 :biggrin:
BMI is a pointless measure for someone like me.

Mine is 28.61 (93kg, 5'11"), but I'm most certainly not unfit.

I've got a little bit of a tummy, granted, but I'm certainly not fat.

Yeah, understandably BMI has its variables. For example, weight can be muscle or fat. And height and age play a big part in it too. Just out of general curiosity & slightly more detailed than the previous thread

Highly deceptive, I have no fat on my body whatsoever, the blessings of being 6"4' :smug:


:dontknow:
19.24. I'm 6'3" and 150 pounds, so while I have almost no fat, I have pretty much no muscle either. Oh well. :sigh:
33.8.


Wat.


I certainly dont look anywhere near 'Obese'. I'm not ripped, but not fat either. See what happens when youre stacked!
I'm 29 and around 14% Body Fat.

Totally pointless 19th century test.

Forget about your BMI.
24.17. I'd say that's pretty accurate for me, judging by appearance :dontknow:

This, mine is 26 with 15% body fat, BMI is completely irrelevant, body fat is what matters
