In reality, it's BMI 19 meth addict gamers being lumped into the "normal" category bringing their risk average up, and BMI 25 people who have at least been to the gym once or twice get lumped in with the BMI 29's who definitely need to drop a few, bringing this risk average down.

that would be true but there is also a much larger portion of that look like the 30%-35% range in the male photos above that consider themselves only slightly overweight, like the OP.

for non trained, average american, adults, you can estimate your BF& from the following formula

(1.39*BMI) + (0.16*age) -(10.34-gender)-9

gender- male=1, female=0

The damn average BF% for an american male is close around 35% btw, actually for males and females. disgusting.
