I don't put much stock in those BMI charts.
Why? Because after my physical last week, I weighed in at 261 at approx. 6'1". Now based on that chart, I'm obese. That's crap.
I walk approx. 1 mile a day, 3 days a week while pumping 2 5lb. weights. I try to eat VERY sensibly. I don't look like I weigh as much as I do, becuase muscle weighs more than fat.
I have always been a "stocky" kind of guy.
For example: when I was 14-15 years old I was 5'11", 175 lbs.
I wore mens shoes size 11 and had a 34 inch waist.
I walked and ran EVERYWHERE just for fun.
I am what is comically referred to as being "big-boned".
When I see/hear expert charts or info regarding what our "perfect" weight should be, I cringe. How the hell does the idiot that made that chart know what I look like?
Sure, if we were all cloned from the same perfect mold, then we should all adhere to the chart specifications, but fortunately for me (and the rest of us) we weren't spit out of some laboratory experiment gone wrong, and we're all different.
For the record, for me to get to my ideal weight, I would literally have to cut off part of my body or starve myself to near death.
