What's your BMI?

[Brettloaf]

Try the keto diet. Maybe someday you'll be Brettscone instead of Brettloaf....

Is this the one where you eat only meat and cheese? sounds like my current eating. Maybe I need to cut out my nightly cereal. I sort of like my size in case I get the call to play D tackle somewhere.

BMI of 32, don't think I've been in that healthy range of 130-170 lbs. since 7th or 8th grade.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I'm 5'10" 170lbs so I just sneak into the healthy category. I find it hard to believe that if I dropped 40 pounds to 130lbs, BMI would also consider me to be healthy. I would look like a meth addict if I was that skinny

I'm 5'11 and 200ish, but broad shoulders and reasonably muscular. I could certainly stand to lose 15ish pounds, but I've been down there before and I'm getting pretty thin. Had a physical with a new doctor a couple years ago and he said he'd like me to get down to around the 150-160 range. I actually laughed at him. I'd be absurdly unhealthy at that weight with my build.

Body Fat Percentage is far more accurate and telling then BMI. Muscle mass is completely ignored when looking at BMI.

I’m 6’1”, 203 lbs at roughly 19-20% BF or 26.8 BMI which is overweight. For me to be borderline healthy green at 24 BMI I would need to be ~180 lbs which would put me at sub-10% BF. I’ve gotten down to low 190s before and I can’t imagine killing myself to drop another 10 lbs from there.

I'm wondering if I should plan to do some advertising to replace some of you fatties, assuming there are more than a few of you.


So, what's your BMI? No need to reply, just answer the anonymous poll.

So 6’11”, 240# is obese? That’s ridiculous.

Great job on the advertising Tom, this just showed up on my latest refresh of this thread:

Neandertals have large chests, and have a higher weight to height ratio than do more typical humans.
There is no known Neandertal with a BMI less than 26.

the closer to a neanderthal genetic profile for things immune system we are, the 'better' our defense mechanisms. my opinion.
'But, Quintana-Murci says, the biggest surprise for them "was to find that the TLR1-6-10 cluster is among the genes presenting the highest Neanderthal ancestry in both Europeans and Asians.'
thanks, max planck.
Neanderthals boosted our immune system | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (mpg.de)
i've always thought this, and just been waiting for more 'research' to further support it. it continues to ramp up.
on the udder hand, there has been some 'last month' research arguing that higher neanderthal dna may lead to higher sars2coronavirus susceptibility. i have to wait a while before i jump on that bandwagon.

I'm 6'5 and don't think I've seen 200 pounds to be "healthy" since freshman year of HS. No interest in seeing it again either, the border of overweight/obese while being actually healthy is good with me

I gave up dieting for lent. Eastern Orthodox Easter isn't until May 2 this year.

24.12. Just made it.

As became pertinent with the comorbidity stuff, 74% of American adults are in the yellow or worse.

Sounds like liver disease.

I’m fat now, and that’s my own fault.

But in my mid 20s (5 years ago) when I was working out hard (daily work out consisted of 100 push-ups, 10 min of jump rope and 10 minutes of planks in under 30 min) I hardly had any fat on my body and was 195. At 6’1” and in great shape The BMI considered me “overweight”. Working out like that, I had put on about 15 pounds of muscle during that time to move up from 180. And with my shaved head at 180, I looked like a cancer patient. People never believed me that I was 180, I pack it in really well. I must have heavy bones.

Now I’m 240 and I guess that makes me “obese”. Oh well.

 

[auror]

Sounds like liver disease.

As someone in the know about people's at home drinking habits, I would guess that somewhere close to that number of adults has that too now following isolating at home.

I'm 4'7" and 300, so I didn't answer.

Jesus. Not being obese isn't even my goal. My goal is just to be less obese.

I don't like this quiz. Why aren't you asking what we got on the LSATs or something?

OK, what did you get on your LSATs? What gets you into Yale?

 

[huskiesouth]

Have no idea what businesslawyer scored on the LSAT, but I do know my score has increased every time I have mentioned it since I took them back in 19??, right now the number is just about equaling the year - this year ?

 

[NJHusky]

Is it normal for your BMI to be 10 points higher than your body fat percentage????

Don’t know what is normal but if your BMI is 25 and your body fat is 15...that’s very good

if your BMI is 39 and your body fat is 29. U got issues

21?

21?

It's not polite to pick on old people?

 

[Matrim55]

6-1, 195 and in the best shape of my life b/c of 5x weekly workouts during lockdown, and BMI says I’m overweight.

Meh.

BMI would be happy if u lost muscle mass as long as your weight went down. It’s an idiotic measurement. Don’t forget they lowered the weights for obesity in 1998. Try using the old numbers.

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

6'3" 210.. so 26, but i guess I'm overweight? If I was 190 i'd be skin and bones.
