POLL: How much weight would you have to lose/gain to put you at normal?

I am high 24 but I want to be at 23. 10 pound conversion of fat to muscle.

Wasn't there a different chart for male and female?

Nope

I’m good, but probably just because of all the upper body muscle I’ve lost.

Joe Banks

Based on the distribution of answers, it appears normal is a lot higher

Indy Coug

Probably because normal is supposed to mean healthy, not average

Selection bias. Who wants to acknowledge and vote that they’re fat?

I do not believe in that index. I would be skin and bones with no muscle

That’s what all the fatties say

I hate these kind of charts. Myself, for example, at my prime condition weight

same height, last time I was at "normal" I was a skinny 17 yo with little muscle

unless your body looked like Fred Warner, you were probably a little overweight.

I honestly have a very unique build with a long torso.

Being 5'11 and 140lbs is not normal. That is pencil neck.

SLC-Warrior

Depending on the person, it is probably quite healthy for many.

Joe Banks

140 is .1 lbs from being underweight, so its pushing the border for 5'11"

I hate the BMI; there are a lot of people who believe they are healthier than

BMI is one of the worst possible ways to judge the healthiness of an individual

A $25-30 scan can give you a very accurate measure of excess fat; I am normal

BYU'01

Where do you get this that scan

SLC-Warrior

If you live in Utah, you can get one from IHC’s wellness center, UofU or BYU

Pro tip: BMI is accurate for 97% of Americans. If your BMI is high, odds are

BMI is not a very accurate way to determine your body composition as it does not

Lots of <5% outliers for BMI being vocal in this thread!

According to this I'm borderline overweight. 30 pull-ups and working out 6-7

6'1" and I am 205. Normal is 180. I would think 190 with muscle is fine.
