re: Get in here and post your BMI (Updated with compiled results for the OT - Not bad!)

And I eat a healthier diet than you.

Obviously not, you overeat

Would Scruffy agree that BP, heart rate and cholesterol

Snapshots that change depending on the time of day, what you've eaten, etc. They aren't really useful at all the way they are measured.

It's like using only driving accuracy as a stat in golf while ignoring the fact that you use a 7 iron of the tee leading to really long shots into the green. They're simple statistics that don't begin to tell the whole story

as long term indicators...nope. BF% is better than all of them along with steps in a day as indicators of all cause mortality

now the things you mentioned are very important but they are indivdual and are snap shots of current health and when looking at the populaiton as a whole, bmi and steps in a day are better predictors of long term health and where the indicators you mentioned will be long term.

A system that tried to measure how fat someone is that doesn’t take into account waist size probably has some fricking flaws.

You don’t need BMI to know you’re fat.

I rarely eat over 1,000 calories a day. I don’t drink sodas and rarely eat anything fried. I almost exclusively drink ice water. I have one cup of decaf coffee each morning and I drink it black. I don’t eat sweets and I even limit the amount of fruit I eat due to their sugar content. When it comes to meat I almost exclusively stick with pan seared blackened tilapia, Mahi Mahi, flounder, and I occasionally catfish or tuna. When I do eat red meat, which is no more than once or twice a month, it’s always 96% lean ground beef and never more than 8 oz.

I’m severely limited on vegetables though because I cannot eat green leafy vegetables (due to being on Coumadin). So I eat a lot of baked squash, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and radishes. I rarely eat things that are high in carbs like potatoes, beans, or rice.

Dude, you don’t have to explain to Mingo

well to be fair, if he is only eating 1k calories a day....that isnt healthy either

I’m not even sure why I’m wasting my time on that little shite stain.

it’s ok - we all get caught up in trying to justify what we do - if it works for you, then that’s all that matters

eating 1k calories

if I had enough discipline to do that, that’s be awesome

Until then I’ll be fat
