I've been to the doctor for the first time in years a couple days ago, and apart from freaking out because of the amount of muscle enzymes in my blood (900 where 190 is normal, it's down to 300 now though) he told me I was fat.

I weigh 72 kg and I'm 170 cm tall (or short, rather), and apparently, that's fat.

So today I bought a scale, stepped on it, and it turns out I have 16 % body fat and 64 % body water. So I'm fat, right?

Funny thing is he also told me to stop working out because of those muscle enzymes, whatever those are.

im 74kgs,185cm tall, and im a skinny fuck.
ive tried to put weight on but cant seem to gain weight.
anyhoo id rather be skinny than fat.

See, you're almost 8 cm taller than me and still weigh only 1 kg more. I'm fat.

Well acccording to your BMI you're not overweight, but it's close (24.9), that's not totally accurate and the bodyfat % is the better indicator, I wouldn't say 16%'s all that awful but it could be a bit lower, I think around 14% is a reasonable level for a man (unless you're looking for a six pack in which case it's below 10%).

For the record I'm 5'11" (180.3cm) and upward of 189lb (85.7kg) (BMI 26.4) and most of the time I'm verging on a six pack. Meaning I could sit on Carl and he wouldn't be getting up soon. Hey DC baby.

Beat my under-weightness, 1.80m and 62kg. Like busetibi, I can't find a way to put on significant weight Maybe I should visit my doctor for the first time in a year, and see if he has to answer to make me put on weight. If he tells me I'll live longer with this body mass, I'll eat him to put on weight.

Anyway, back to the point, they do often calculate "fatness" by looking at the amount of body fat, but I don't have a clue what the percentage is when they consider you fat.

5'7" 115lb. Lots of fat fucks in here.

You an amputee?

Edit: lying fucker, thought that seemed a ridiculous weight :-p

1.84 @ 70ish (my average weight is 67 ) last time i checked my % bodyfat was like 3
i eat like theres no tomorrow and i never gain wait. guess i'll be porky when i hit 50 :icon14:

I'm 5' 11" and about 11.5 stone, but I "DO" class myself as fat.

why?
@o'dium

I just always have seen myself as seriously overweight. Everybody does try to tell me otherwise but i refuse to believe it.

I'm not lying.

@ o'dium
im trying to remember the imperial system,
from memory i was 6ft 1 and 11.5 stone, so that makes me 2 inches taller, i cant see why you would class yourself as fat.
fuck, im skin and bones

175 and 64kg

always seem to be on 64, even when working out. im a bit lightweigt now but when i grow some muscle ill still weigh 64 (unless i go overboard)

eats some food looser and go buy a life midget...

I eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired, and shit when I gotta shit. I'm eating cherry pie right now, for breakfast. You're gonna die some day, fat ass, stop worrying so much about your health.

1.84/74ish
/me wants pie

190 cm (6'3'') and 80 kg (176 pounds) = very skinny.

6'1" 197lbs. Eat it faggets

How did he test your bodyfat? Did he use skinfolds, BMI, hydrostatic weighting, etc?

A lot of these methods (except for hyrdostatic weighting) are based on formulas that are very very generalized. Basicly, if you work out at all, you will have a "fat" BMI.

I will: 195 cm and 68 kg. I don't look all that skinny, though (I'm starting to get a beer belly, for the love of God).

what 'muscle enzymes' is he talking about?
