Erm that's higher than the healthy BMI range, so not "fairly light". >25 is considered overweight.

It's still lighter than the average American BMI, which is around 29. On average, Americans are classified as overweight.

		Yes thats what i was referring to, you're both correct on your respective angles.

My BMI is 28.7 at 181cm and 94kg at 45.25 years old.

Am I overweight, not far off obesity?

You probably wouldn’t say so if you saw me.

BMI is mostly only a useful metric when it is.

		I'm with ya at 29.4. I carry a lot more muscle than the average populace, so I'm both high BMI and appear to be "fit" to casual onlookers. But dexa says 26% which is about double what I would like.
