    Agreed! especially for the fact that MUSCLE ways much more than fat.. so if you're "overweight" but its all muscle.. you'd be called overweight... just like someone that weights that much from ALL FAT!

    exactly.

    I really was hardcore working out for nearly 2 years straight, the lowest I got was 190lbs! but I had a lot of muscle. was I as cut as a CK model? no, but that's just not my body type.

    I think my legs alone were 50lbs each!!! :p

    I made this tool a while back that takes your age and weight and spits out some info on how likely somebody with your age and lifestyle is likely to be obese. It also calculates your BMI and tells you if that is normal or whatever. Obesity Calculator

    Oh and "According to your BMI of 20.45 you are at a normal weight."

    Stats for the tool are based on US statistics from the CDC, so obesity percentages are higher then elsewhere.

    Is there any index that compares your metabolism with the rate at which google indexes your pages?

    Something like a meta-goo index :D

    Damn, i missed the first page so posted a tool which isn't really useful.. BMI is rather stupid. I work at an insurance company we end up looking at BMIs to determine people's health, its generally right but quite often its off. Quite often we try to get insurance for people who have something like a 30 BMI and are professional weight trainers or something. Damn insurance companies stick to BMI.

    SCREW THAT! Look at my stats:

    BMI: 30.4
    Ideal Weight: 144 lbs
    Actual Weight: 201 lbs
    Body Description: Obese

    Thats wrong.. I'm one of the ( or the ) strongest people in my grade.. Muscle weighs more than fat!

    Did the other one:

    At XX years 0.01% of males with your life style are obese.
    According to your BMI of 30.61 you are obese. You may want to re-evaluate your lifestyle.

    Oh yeah! I love to know according to this I am in the 0.01% of people my age!

    Maybe these tools should add in a question like: How much can you bench?

    30.7 was my BMI which is funny because it will never accurately account for wether weight is fat or muscle. In my case, I'm a weightlifter. So... its skewed in many occasions.

    The 0.01% is calculated from your lifestyle and age (for statistics). I'm guessing you don't drink much, and you work out a lot so your chances went down.

    perfect :D

    check boxes to narrow the criteria...can you touch your toes, can you do more than 7 push ups (at a single sitting), can you still see your penis in the shower :eek:

    When I turn 21 I decided I'm going to have a Mike's Hard Lemonade and a Smirnoff Ice. I've had a sip just to taste and the Smirnoff tastes like a Jolly Rancher :) And the lemonade tastes like lemonade with a hint of beer lol... Anyway I wouldn't want to drink so much.. its expensive XD

    5 years ago I had am BMI of 18.7. I was jogging everyday 10 kilometers. One day I went to the doctor, just for routine issues. There he found out that I have a body temperature of 37.4 deg C. He told me that I had a high body temperature and that I am ill. One week later I still had exactly the same temperature. And 2 weeks afterwards again, still the same temperature. The my doctor decided to make some tests. After a magnetic resonance test and a sonic ray resonance, he found out that I had a very large heart volume. He told me that my heart volume was 25 % larger than normal, which results in higher performance. he couldn't help me solve the problem and sent me to a specialist. There again, after some test, the Doc recommanded me to get gain some weight. He told me to run less often and to switch to a sport, which helps me get more muscles. I found out that there was a muay thai club in the town where I study. Muay thai helped me to get more muscles and now I have 16 more kilograms, and a lower heart temperature of 36.8 deg C.
