Fat Index
20bmi

National
Below average
I have less body fat than 97% of males aged 30-44 in my country. I am 31, so there's plenty of time to put on some weight!

Global
Below average
I have less body fat than 80% of males aged 30-44 in the world.

If everyone in the world had the same body fat as me, it would remove 40,521,575 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population.

I'm most like someone from Eritrea. (Probably considerably less downtrodden though.)

oh bless you - you can have my cake if you like

Interestingly, that means I'm only just plumper than the average bloke from DR Congo or Eritrea. Wow, I need to get eating.

what a load of cock. Problem with this is, it doesnt take into account above average muscle mass. Now Im not disputing my 'comfortable shape' these days as I approach 50........but at 18, 5' 10" and 14 + stone, fit as fuck, county colt rugby player and not an oz of body fat............puts me in the "big fat fucker" category..................well a BMI of 29 and someone from Tonga apparently................. these days Im bmi of 30 and from Kuwait............so Im not as fat a fucker as I first thought !!

Anyone else notice its only members of the chunky club that have a problem with the way BMI is calculated?



...in seriousness, you are right regarding muscle mass - problem is most people with a high BMI don't lift weights and have big fuck-off muscles, they're just overweight.

But as we've discussed over and over and over the BMI is intended only for people with sedentary lifestyles. Using it on someone with high muscle mass is like using an IQ test to determine if a building will survive an earthquake.

Yeh, I'm total proof of the muscle/fat thing. My BMI hasn't changed in a year but I'm a far better shape than I was this time last year. Sporky's dead right- it's mostly thereto try and get lazies & fatties to get their arses in gear

24. Most like someone from Senegal.

oh for sure, yet these surveys never indicate that, and keep using sweeping generalisations for the whole population etc etc..............


I was quite surprised TBH that I wasn't as high now as I thought.............but I have lost about 18lbs since xmas.................

[erictheweary]

Wow- I'm Colombian!

I always told my parents I thought I was adopted. I'm getting the first plane to Bogota and go rediscover my roots.

[RocknRollDave]

I am not sure how much I weigh, but based on an educated guess I am just about below average.

I do think I am overweight though, and not very healthy for it.

Of course, it's mostly cock that makes up the weight, but there's a bit of a belly too...
