Faye is curvy
JonSnow:
there is no average BMI only an optimal one, it's like saying there's an average body fat % and that is the right one, cause that would put the average body fat % in the ranges of around 40 to 45% and I highly doubt that is the optimal one.
and really I would like for you to try to go to a doctor and say hey I have a Body mass index of 16 the possible results are:
a.) you are not lying you really are as malnourished as those little african kids you see on the informercials asking for you money to help save children from starvation. In which case the doctor will refer you to the hospital where you will most likely be hooked up to a tube that will feed you with whatever the IV of the day holds.
b.) he will tell you to calculate it correctly, ask him if he can do it for you and do it (cause yes there is a correct way: did you all use your height in METERS and your weight in KILOGRAMS, instead of feet/inches and pounds?)
c.) he'll just laugh at you charge his fee and make some quick money.
it's not a tool to place you somewhere precisely it's a tool to indicate a trend, and if it is a bad trend you should act on it and not go ignoring it cause the results dont suit your flavor.
and yes a BMI of 20.6 is on the skinny side of it.
mishy:
i like faye's curves. more than anything, i like how the body types of all of the girl characters are *different* from each other.
to all the skinny people: just stay healthy.
to all the fat people: just stay as active as you can.
to everyone: just be happy with who you are, and if you aren't, then change yourself somehow.
that is all.
not like y'all needed a lecture, but i said it anyway.

How is 80kg of mostly muscle implausible?

one I stated that a man of 5'9" weighing 176 lbs is still a healthy a man, 80kg of muscles is not implausible, but you have to calculate how much your skeleton weighs :)

--- Quote from: JonSnow on 30 Dec 2008, 01:17 ---if your BMI is 16 you're either calculating it wrong or I would really hurry myself to a hospital. a BMI of 16 = severe malnourishment, it gets dangerous below 18 just like obese gets dangerous above 28.
for the calculation again lets use me.
I'm a skinny person, (for some reason I have a superfast metabolism) I weigh 69kg which is 151.8 lbs and I'm 1m83 which is about 72" or 6' feet something
69 divided by 1.83 times 1.83 = 69/3.348 = a BMI of 20.6 which is still ok.
Body fat is something they introduced after they discovered that the way body mass an body fat related to eachother were changing in drastically but no way in heaven or hell would your BMI be over 25 if you have 0% bodyfat. Saying you're bigboned? for a BMI of 25+ on an average height guy lets say 1m75 which is 68.9" = 5 ' and 8.90 " he'd have to weigh over 80kg which is 176 lbs and still be healthy. or way more then 87kg or 191.4 lbs to enter the obesity zone.

130 and 5'11". Figure it out for me.
JonSnow:
I've calculated it to a BMI of 18.1. Which is below the 20-25 limit advised, but is still above malnourishment.
The problems you'll most likely face is a lowered immunity, getting sick more often then you normally would with more weight.
A possibility of vitamin and or mineral deficiencies which lead to weakened bones, and once again a weakened immune-system.
these things are not life threatening, but that doesnt mean you can keep losing weight and not pay the price.
