I'm firmly in the 'overweight' category based on BMI, at 15% bodyfat, and I wouldn't classify myself as jacked. I have a bit more lean muscle than most from cycling but definitely not a 'gym body'.
- wombat-man 3y agoYeah, I'm 'overweight'. I run a lot and generally in pretty good shape. But I could absolutely lose 10-20 lbs of fat. Just because you're a little overweight doesn't mean you're unhealthy.
- Kirby64 3y agoIf you could lose 10-20 lbs of fat (and don't just mean, you have 10-20 lbs of fat left), then tautologically it would be healthier if you did lose the weight. The degree to which it makes you healthier is debatable, but that extra weight isn't making you more healthy (outside of people that are very underweight).
- wombat-man 3y agoSure, it's not an emergency but I try to eat better.
- paulpauper 3y agoyeah pretty much. a lot of guys who do even a little physical labor for a living or hobby are easily in the overweight category despite being strong and not that fat at least going by visual appearance . such as guys in construction, landscaping, or moving. a lot of people who are borderline obese do not even look that fat especially clothed. the stereotypical 'fat guy' with the overhanging or balloon stomach is more like a BMI of 40.
