But you are. Which is why the term overfat has come into being in clinical circles.


Ahh so I am "overweight" because some universal scale says so? Even though I am stronger/faster/healthier/more in shape than I was at any weight before this...all with a 6 pack? yeah ok

How difficult is it to understand that BMI is not an accurate metric for individuals but is at least somewhat indicative of overall health in a given population? I mean seriously, people.

Yes. Do you know what weight is? It doesn't care what its makeup is. I'm not even saying its a bad thing. But at some point like around the obesity mark, it matters less and less what someone's body composition is and its just plain hard on their body. Look around you. The average 5'9" 190 lbs male has a spare tire, tits and at least one chin. I know you're the exception. But its just that: an exception.

Yes, you are overweight. I am not saying you are fat but you are overweight. Skinny people live longer.
