Is my boyfriend overweight?

Hey! He's 20, 5'10" and weighs around 15 stone. He plays rugby, cycles and walks a lot so he keeps fit, but is that too much? His belly goes over a little!

BMI is an awful way of determining that anyway, and muscle is heavier than fat.

Muslce is denser, not heavier.

And thus in terms of volume, a muscular person can have smaller measurements than an overweight person, but weigh more.

What I mean is, if you weigh a lot, it doesn't necessarily mean you're overweight because of fat, because you can weigh a lot being healthy and muscular.

He knew what you meant, he was just being pedantic .

I know

Yes cause we are all doctors on here arent we!!

As a fellow 5'10" male who looked like this at only 12.5 stones: categorically yes.

I'm 5"10 and i'm 9 stone, 15 stone is very overweight.

You don't look 5'10" there, you are the one on that guys knee, right?

Oh, you.

How are we supposed to know?! That could all be muscle, it could be fat. Does it matter? Or, more importantly, does it matter to the OP?

We'd (rightly) throw the book at a bloke who came in on here to call his girlfriend fat (in fact we did quite recently) so I think it's only fair to call out the OP here.

If he, or anyone else, is comfortable with their weight then everyone else should back off, including their partners.
