Where are you on the global fat scale?
 

Just put your vital statistics into the calculator to find out

"If everyone in the world had the same body fat as you, it would add 29,736,612 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population"

.... BALLS, hahaha

6'5 117 kilos

says i'm 31 on the BMI and that is apparently obese - not really sure how the BMI works but I am most definitely not obese.

It's all muscle :winkwink:

That's tall, I don't see many people your height who are obese

congo on last position, i wonder why

You're most like someone from Senegal*

I was surprised to see anyone is bigger then the US but Argentina is there???

You have a higher BMI than 100% of males aged 15-29 in the world

What the fuck? lol... BMI is crap though... it doesn't factor in tall people or something - according to this at my 194cm-ish height I should weight 86kg. I'd be a fucking stick figure.

It doesn't factor in muscle. It assumes you are of a normal build with fat making up any excess.

Same here.

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 14,784,221 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population

Obesity Index

You have a lower BMI than 76% of males aged 15-29 in your country

You have a higher BMI than 52% of males aged 15-29 in the world

I'm 6' 2" weigh 225 lbs and have a higher BMI than 100% of the males in my country and the world? And I'm most like someone from Micronesia? Haha what a fucked up survey.

If you came out of a concentration camp during ww2 you'd probably still come up overweight according to this.

I went to another site to see what was going on. My doctor and other sites say my BMI is 24.9 but this site makes me over 60 BMI.. weird.

Total Crap. I'm 6 ft 4, and I wiegh 205, and it's telling me I have a BMI of 25, which puts me in the overwieght range. I garunfuckingtee that I'm NOT over wieght. I run 3 to 6 miles every other day, and lift in between, and I don't even have a belly.




.

BMI was debunked long ago to be inaccurate, especially if you're above average height and build.

What ads are on the page? Diet and exercise ones I assume? I can't see anything with adblock/noscript blocking ad servers.

The ability to remove dirt poor countries where everyone's starving from the averages should be an option too.

"You're most like someone from Niger"

Cool, thanks.

Usain Bolt, fastest man in the world has a BMI of 30, higher than 97% of the world.
Michael Jordan had a BMI higher than 76% of the world.
Jay Cutler, one of the best bodybuilders in the world has a BMI of 40 in his cut / training season.

BMI is horseshit and should be used on the same level as reading horoscopes.

Not that accurate :upsidedow

LOL - make sure you are putting in the right "standard" if you are getting a crazy number. I changed the height to feet / inches, but didn't realize it wasn't in "pounds" for the weight, and it came back with a BMI of 60+ as well LOL

Once I adjusted, it gave me the same info I get from my doctor on BMI and where I am in comparison to most women my age here in US. Which is to say, in the middle, on the heavy side, and in need of losing some chunk LOL (also - TIL a kilo is less than 1/2 a lb.)

twinkley

My abs are so ripped that it became neccessary to encase them in a protective layer of fat.

yeah bmi is pretty useless information for people who actually workout or have any muscle tone. If you don't exercise it becomes more relevant. I think michael phelps would even be classified as obese according to those calculators.

You're most like someone from Benin*

and what's with the meters here? I put in 194 meters at first thinking it was supposed to be cm.

5'11", 225 lbs, age 43. I am a 31 bmi.

Um, that's 260 lbs. I understand your 6'5, but 260 lbs is fucking huge.

Seem pretty accurate for me. 21 BMI, 5'5", 129lbs.

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 27,268,287 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population

I wouldn't say a guy at 6' 5" and being 260lbs is grossly overweight. He should probably be in the 230-240 range depending how strong he is. If you go purely by BMI he should be around 160-211 (19-25 BMI) which is ridiculous.

I told you guys I wasn't in top form.

hahahaha. I put in 6'4" and 145 lbs and it spit out:

You have a higher BMI than 97% of males aged 45-59 in your country

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


what a fucked up piece of shit stupid site. if I was 145lbs I'd be emaciated and dead.

Im obese yet i sit at 7% body fat lmao.

but healthy according to that! :1orglaugh

Are you sure you're clicking "pounds"? the default is kg. I plugged in male/30 yrs/6'4"/145lbs and it said:
18 BMI

Guess Im about average :))

Tell me about it, I actually got down to 97kilos a few years back and never again, looked like a stick insect. Lost a heap of muscle and took far too long to get it back.

I hear you, I could likely lose 5 to 10 kilos to be at optimum weight however I am most definitely not a fat guy. Do not have a belly, large build.
