Lol at that chart. Maybe for a sedentary person. I'm 5'10 205 and it says I'm obese. I've put on some weight but wouldn't call myself obese or even very overweight at all. When I'm 185, I have a six pack and I'd still be considered overweight according to that
BMI over estimates the body fat for people who are large framed / muscular. May NBA and NFL players like Lebron James and Calvin Johnson would be considered over weight according to their BMI but that's obviously not true. So BMI isn't really an accurate indicator of body fat.

Very true. Unfortunately insurance sees us all as the same. However, I'm a weight lifter and I fought my life insurance about my premium ( principle people, but still ot poor) and I won.
