"If everyone in the world had the same body fat as you, it would remove 29,447,616 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population".

Jeez, think of getting rid of all that fat!

That could make a lot of chicken dippers

'if everybody had the same amount of body fat as you, 96million tons would be added to the earths weight' pmsl
Thanks for that bbc, pay hundred odd quid a year to be insulted :)

I'm not sure that's true, as surely the World would be carrying fewer cows, pigs etc to have enabled the Worlds population to put on that weight?

Obese, and have been for years. It's called beer.

I have to calculate BMI's at work, and there is one fundamental issue. If someone is very fit, and muscular, their BMI will be high. also if they have been a ballet dancer for example, they can be morbidly underweight. It's all swings and roundabouts.

What a load of old shite!
I don't have an ounce of fat on me and its telling me i'm a chunky lard pants.........
It doesn't take into account what you do for a living, someone pushing buttons all day is going to be completely different build to, lets say a scaffolder.
So its Croatian for me.....

I'm currently trying to put on weight which also confuses these websites when it asks for my target weight goals.

Though at 6ft 4 (or 5, im not sure), the AMOUNT of grub I would have to eat to actively put on weight is mind-blowing and I eat A LOT.


Anyway, BMI is 23 and I'm most likely to be from IRAQ.

This is why crude indicators such as BMI are a load of bullshit.

I'm BMI 22 which is good, but it doesn't take into account body type or give any indication of CV fitness. I don't put on weight that easy as I'm tall and thin, I think the most I've ever been is BMI 24, but shit like this can lure you into a false sense of security.

If I didn't look after myself I'd be at risk of high cholesterol because I can pretty much eat shit all the time and not put on much weight so it isn't obvious that I'm unhealthy, also my natural CV fitness is shocking if I don't train, but because I don't look fat things like this tell me I'm ok.

That body fat thing is an absolute guess as well
