Why BMI is flawed – and how to redefine obesity

• jqpabc123 3y ago
  Using BMI, I am considered obese but those who know me will tell you that I have never been "fat". What I am is muscular --- I work out. Everyone knows that muscle weighs more than fat but BMI only loves gurly men in skinny jeans.

    Anyone know what fraction of high BMI individuals have low body fat? 10%? 1%? 0.1%?

    I think just about every linebacker in the NFL is considered obese using straight BMI.

  Am I the only one getting a weird vibe from this trying to downplay semaglutide? How much does it cost? Is this some insurance company propaganda "submarine"?
