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

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

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

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

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

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

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