I’m not even referencing gender. Any person who is 5’9 200 lbs is gonna look overweight. The average 5’9 American man is about 200 lbs and the a average American man is pretty overweight

BMI is not the most reliable but 128-169 is the normal range for a 5’9 person

There is no one healthy weight for everyone, but a 5’9 128 person is not necessarily sticks and bones, it’s a pretty normal weight

A normal BMI is between 18.5-24.9, so someone who weighs 5’9” and is 200lb is considered overweight because their BMI is 29.5. Actually, they’re on the verge of obesity (BMI 30+). Ideal weight range for someone 5’9” is 125-168lb. I can’t tell if this is rage bait or not but just wanted to put this out there

For a woman that’s kinda high unless they’ve got a good amount of muscle mass

I rlly just want to clarify bc i feel like this mightve been seen as engagement bait, i know im overweight/obese, i also have an absurd amt of muscle mass bc of my upbringing/genetics. Im 5’10 and over 200lbs, nobody EVER guesses that im over 200 though…?? Guy guessed 140 (thought they were trolling but theyre deadass) and i just thought id ask.. yes im chubby/fat and still muscular/over 200, ive lost 80 lbs and trying to get to 130… i think 140 was js delusional for my build

BMI is a shit metric, body fat percentage is what you should go by. For men 10-25% is the healthy range, and for women 20-33%.

It depends on the specific person. But obviously there’s some gray around the edges of each range, generally you want to closer to the center of it
