Wow

I'm literally right between Obese and Overweight.

Anyone who uses BMI as a guide is pretty much ******ed. It doesn't take muscle mass into account at all. You could be in top physical condition and stillbe considered overweight.

BMI doesn't work for athletes

it's mainly for the average dude who doesn't work out

Those are totally subjective though. What defines "working out?" I play soccer and basketball many times a week, eat healthy, and don't liftweights, but according to BMI, I'm a tub of lard. It's just a bogus formula.

5 ft 10 .... 238 with 7% body fat and it says I'm obese :-\. Doesn't account for muscle mass as mentioned b4 and muscle weights more than fat.

I have a little beer gut but overall I don't consider myself fat by any means. I'll get back to working out in a couple weeks so I ain't worried.

Shouldn't you be able to tell just by looking in a mirror if you're overweight or not? Clearly an NFL running back who's 5'10" and 200lbs. at 5% BF isn't obese or overweight. But plenty of 170 lb. guys at the same height are pretty flabby.
