Nah. I know people who are considered overweight/obese because they're just stoutly built. They're mostly muscle, but because BMI doesn't measure body composition or actual fitness, they have an "unhealthy" BMI level. There are more effective ways to measure human fitness.

That’s my situation. I’m 5’4”, 170 lbs of mostly bulky muscle and I’m considered overweight or obese. Also, it’s belly fat that’s actually unhealthy. It’s most dangerous when it gets around your vital organs, not when you’re carrying fat on your thighs or wherever else

The way Wii Fit called my uncle obese just because he’s kinda short but super muscular 😭 it comes down to body fat percentage
