Doctor's Recommended Body Weight
I do not claim to be super ripped or fit, but I also don't consider myself 'overweight'. My wife is a nurse and often tells me that I am overweight because the 'recommended body weight' for me is 185 not 221 as I am now. What's with the doctor's recommended body weight and why does it seem so off?

It's a bunch of bull . The body mass index is just a guideline for the average person, athletes and body builders are not the average person. Body fat content then becomes the better parameter for assessment.

They definitely do not take athletes into consideration. My boyfriend is 6'1 195 and very lean but muscular. According to the doctor he should weight 175. NO WAY!! He would look like a skeleton at that weight.

I am 6'1" too and I was 241 last night. now I admit the holiday foods certainly didnt do anything great for me but I dont think I could possible drop more than 10 lbs of fat without going on a pre competition diet. so that leaves me around 230 making me oh 55 lbs overweight, or obese. I dont think so. Watch you body fat percentage more than your over all weight in considering if you need to drop or add weightOriginally posted by Sapphire

If I went by that table I am considered obese!
It does not account for additional muscle mass. Your best measurement is your bf level.

My bro who is a BB had to have hernia surgery last year. He was about 5'9" and pushing 210 with about 10% BF, in great shape. They told him that they would not operate on him unless he lost 30 pounds because he was "dangeously obese" according to their charts.
He went on a brutal cut and lost the weight, but also had to lose about 15 pounds of LBM to do it. He still hasn't recovered.Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.
The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

Canada uses bodyweigh as a means of calling someone obese, they dont look at bodyfat.
