What's your BMI (body mass index)? (link to TEST)

[xcript]

Err.. 2nd percentile ??

Jesus..

Edit: Oops, forgot to enter age. BMI 19, 13th percentile. Ahh.

 

[FatJackSprat]

I'm about 180 and 6 feet tall. It says my BMI is 24.4 and I'm in the 50th percentile.

If I change that to 165 it only goes down to 22.4 and the 31st percentile. In fact, this thing says that from 144 to 184 are "normal range" for my height. I work out and eat right, if I went down to 145 I'd look like one of the Hanson brothers and I'd be tired all the time. Allowing a forty pound difference to fall into the same range makes me question bmi.

 

[TheJoker6900]

I'm 22, 6' 5" and 190lbs

That page also links to a "Ideal Weight" calculator (http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm). The funny thing is, if you change your current weight, the ideal weight changes, and can sometimes be out of the medical recommended range. Shouldn't an "ideal weight" remain the same?

60th

it says I'm overweight... thats weak cause I would like to add more mass

 

[Slikkster]

6'2" and 195 and I'm overweight? Funny how I get all these "you're too skinny" comments. Another useless tool.

 

[Dudd]

5'10", 195, says I'm in the 83rd percentile. Definately can stand to lose some pounds, I'd like to be back down to 180, my football playing weight in the fall.

 

[Electric Amish]

Yeah, 5'10" at 190 here, but I don't see a gut or a big ass

I am 5'10" 148lbs, and I could stand to lose a few pounds.

 

[Nitemare]

64th. This is a joke. 5'10 190 lbs. I could probably lose 10 lbs because I only have a 34 inch waist. It does not take into account body frames

 

[Ferocious]

Very inaccurate test.

There should at least be a waist dimension taken into account....so as to somewhat factor in the muscle versus fat issue.

 

[SWScorch]

12th percentile. I'm 19, 5'10" and under 130 pounds. I'm fricken scrawny

 

[prontospyder]

12th percentile

 

[AbsoluteParadigm]

22nd percentile

 

[codehack2]

22nd... I personally think these things are a crock. I run 70mi a week, spend 10hrs a week on strength training, and have a body fat % of just under 3%, yet according to this, I could stand to lose a few #'s. Sure.... maybe I'll jump it up to 100mi a week. 5' 6" x 160lbs, Btw.

Read closer. Its the "ideal weight" of people who weigh as much as you.
