Meh. If you're fully 6'1", 190 would still be a little over, but you would probably rightly call that "just right". I know you don't want to hear this, but 220 at your height is flirting with the obesity line (228 would be officially obese).



This arbitrary BMI shite is tired.
6'1 220 is pretty fricking fit. Anyone here who say's otherwise is probably a string bean trying to gain mass and can't.

It's not arbitrary. It's a 2-factor, objective formula. They don't even gender pare it (and girls are naturally "fatter" than dudes).

It isn't the single factor to consider (it does not factor in bone density, muscle mass, etc.), but since you're not a world class athlete or absolute freak of nature and neither is he, it is probably a very good indicator of whether or not one should cut back on the calories.

When you say "BMI is bullshite" or words to that effect, that's a way of saying, "I'm fat and I don't care."

Deal with it.

I'm 6'3 and felt miserable at 220 (and especially at 230 which is where I was when I decided to fix it.) I did not consider myself anywhere near "pretty fit" at 220.
