[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's a single obese person that lives in my neighborhood. Unless they're not coming out of their house. [/quote]

You probably just don’t know what obesity according to BMI looks like. I am obese (5’7” 210) and no one would look at me and describe me as obese. Chubby, chunky, maybe fat, but not obese.

For example-the 6’1” guy after on the right is still (barely) obese with a BMI of 30. In the before on the left it is 37, well into class 2 obesity.

That’s crazy. On the right that looks like a pretty normal dude to me. I feel like most guys I know look like that. And they’re technically obese?[/quote]

BMI is a tool, but it is a perfect science to classify obesity.  The guy on the right isn’t obese.  BMI scale is same for men and women- which automatically tells you it won’t be very accurate for men.  I do find it pretty spot on to what I would visually consider obese in women.  Men no.
