Chuckles. I am 165 with 15% body fat at 5'6" which puts me at overweight based on BMI. You can be "heavier" as long as the weight is in muscle rather than lip

Chuckles. I am 165 with 15% body fat at 5'6" which puts me at overweight based on BMI.
You can be "heavier" as long as the weight is in muscle rather than lipids (fat).
- Shebanator 11y agoYep, BMI is pretty much useless. Body fat percentage FTW.
- jtuente 11y agoBMI is far from useless. Unless you're sporting a six-pack, over 6'4 or under 5'1; BMI will fairly accurately gauge your overall fitness level. The range for a normal adult is absolutely huge. Small-fat and body-builders are the only people who have any reason to be skeptical of their own BMI.
