BMI is a flawed way of determining fatness.

 

[VALIS]

Why is everyone so fat in Micronesia? Is that a sample size of like six people or something?

 

[AppleMIX]

Over, Don't even need to do math.

 

[sazzy]

BMI is a flawed way of determining fatness.

For extreme body types, yes.

But that is not the point of this thread.

edit- e.g. micronesia isn't on the top of the list because the people there are short and super muscular, etc.

 

[dubc35]

I don't trust that chart. The US is, no must be #1.

 

[Aselith]

BMI is a flawed way of determining fatness.

Confirmed fatty

 

[TheTowel]

Doing pretty well actually. Progress from a few years back!

 

[SnakeswithLasers]

Over, Don't even need to do math.

Fuck, that made me laugh really hard.

 

[Neffarias_Bredd]

My BMI is 24 also, but my body fat % is pretty low

 

[cheststrongwell]

Apparently I'm fatter than 95 percent of males on earth. I am most like someone from Tonga.

 

[jaxword]

I'm the fattest poster on neogaf.

 

[Wilsongt]

I already know I am a lardass, but I am working on it!

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Maybe I just cannot into graphs, but that margin of error seems huge.

 

[Hanzou]

For extreme body types, yes.

No, its flawed for anybody who exercises regularly. My BMI is almost in the overweight range and I am nowehere fucking close to being considered fat.

 

[vatstep]

22 BMI (seems a bit high to me, but whatever) and I have less body fat than 87% of males in my age group in the US. We are indeed a very fat country.

Weight matters a lot less than how you look in the mirror. Body fat% ftw

 

[Divvy]

Apparently, people from Congo are most like my thirty metre tall, ten ton man.

no u

 

[Mully]

It says I'm obese even though just a day ago I correctly guessed my fat percentage to be at 15%.

 

[SapientWolf]

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

In the States I'm overweight but in Japan I would be obese.

 

[criesofthepast]

21 BMI, less body fat than 90% of Canadian males aged 15-29, less body fat than 68% of males aged 15-29 in the world. Cool.

 

[Buttchin]

I'm apparently fatter then everyone in the world in my age group...

***looks at his friends, coworkers and neighbors who are all significantly fatter***

Okay I'm fat but really 100%?

[cheststrongwell]

Since I turned 30, it has all gone down hill. Prepare yourselves you skinny fucks!

 

[ZombieTimeMachine]

I accidentally forgot to change the weight to pounds the first time, and was very confused when it said I had a BMI of 46.

I have slightly more body fat than the average Ethiopian/North Korean. I guess that means I'm doing okay.
