Actually I'm not, my body fat percentage is low 20's and so i have about 225 pounds of lean mass on me. The BMI is a bad thing to measure your fatness, since most pro athletes will be considered obese on the BMI

way to rationalize.

but 50 lbs of fat is still 50 lbs of fat.

So with that, i say eliminate the BMI and just stick to measure body fat percentage.

BMI is[/b] a measure of body fat in relation to the rest of your body.

I got a 25.1. meh.

No it's not! BMI has nothing to do with body fat. It's a measure of weight for height. BMI only correlates with body fat, and sometimes isn't even close.

Mine is 24.1 which is boarder line normal/overweight and I am 6'3" 193 or so depending on the day. I can tell you that I am no where near being overweight. The reason BMI is inaccurate is because it does not take into account the fact that muscle weighs more than fat. So, really take it with a grain of salt and the best measure is body fat percentage and how you "carry" the weight.
