This x 100. I'm a pretty big guy at 6'3" 262 lbs. I work out 3-4 days a week lifting and train BJJ another 2-3. My waist is right around 32-34" but according to BMI, i'm obese.


To fall in the "normal" range for BMI, i'd have to weigh 175 lbs. I would look like a cancer patient at 175.

Anybody who posts this is required to post a picture as proof. Unless you are a peak specimen elite athlete, you are not in shape at 6'3 262lbs. Not that BMI is entirely accurate as an indicator of health, but you are not "healthy" at that weight.

You are carrying a lot of fat around with your muscle and it isn’t good for your health.

This is an obvious troll but I want to make sure everyone in this thray understands BMI is an accurate measurement and predictor of risk factors for about 95% of the American population. Of course there are outliers. A 6'3", 262 lb who is in tremendous physical shape (working out seven days per week) with a 32" waist is an outlier. That's the size of most professional linebackers.
