The reflection absolutely does not rule out morbidly obese. It is by definition morbidly obese. The bmi scale does not care about muscle mass.
Yeah I know it's stupid. I'm also ridiculously categorized as morbidly obese. I'm quite a bit lighter than that though.
Not necessarily. If he's 7'4" or taller he'd have a healthy BMI!
Don't forget morfans!
Yeah it's weird, I was just being lazy with wording, but now I want to defend BMI a little since it's not that stupid. (I meant to say he didn't look like the stereotypical image of a morbidly obese person, which in hindsight isn't very productive)
It's true that BMI is only useful for "normal" people, which excludes pro-athletes/body builders with a lot more muscle than the average person, and people with conditions that affect their weight. For the vast majority of people, it's a useful metric for overall health. Anyone who cares about longevity and quality of life shouldn't ignore it just because it's uncomfortable to think about or "seems wrong" based on some self assessments. Obviously, there's a lot of stigma around being labelled as obese, but people are judgy assholes about everything. What's basically guaranteed, though, is that if you do lose weight to reach a "healthy" BMI, you will feel a lot better physically (and probably also mentally). Pains you didn't even realize you had will go away, you'll have more energy, etc.
I'm not saying you should lose weight, idgaf. Your life isn't mine, and I'm not here to give unsolicited advice. I just feel compelled to add some extra context so people don't draw hasty conclusions.
I'm currently a little heavy, I'm not going to lie. But I haven't always been. And even when I was really thin all the following was still true. I'm I'm only 5'10" (1.78m for the rest of you). But I wear 2xl gloves. I wear a 3xl motorcycle helmet. I have siize 13.5 us feet (EU 48-49). Usually people have a wingspan pretty close to their height, sometimes a little less or a little more. But my wingspan is just over 6'5" (1.96 m) which is 7" or 18cm bigger than my height. My leg bones are way thicker than average, almost freakishly so. Even when I was in marathon running condition, and even at my medium height I could dunk a basketball, I was technically right on the edge of obese by BMI standards. I beat our schools presidential physical fitness record when I was 14. I could stack all of the plates on the leg press machine easily, our football team guys couldn't do it. BMI is a load of shit for some of us.
