View Full Version : definition of obesity

According to the BMI calculaors (34.9) I am obese. I am 5'11" and weight 250lb. I work out 5 times a week (1:45/day)and I am very strong, with a very respectable muscle mass.
But I am probably 25%+ fat. If I go down to 190lb Ill look like a greek god, but still overweight according to the BMI calcs.
Today I am overweight and maybe sightly obese, but not as bad as the BMI calculators say.
Im 50 yrs old, good blood pressure, low cholesterol, no sugar issues, and in good cardio/strength shape..

Is there a MBI calculatore that takes into account body compsition? Is there another way to define obesity?

Thanks,

L
