Question: I weight 63 kilos and my height is 166cm. Am I fat?

Hi Jaime,

No your not because your BMI is 22.9 just normal. A lot of people think they're overweight even though they aren't. Just because you don't measure up to a supermodel doesn't mean you're bigger than you should be!

In fact everybody should have some body fat. The average man should expect his body fat to be 10 to 18 per cent of his bodyweight. The figure for women is higher, in fact 18 to 25 per cent of a woman's bodyweight should be fat.

If the BMI-test shows that you are overweight (a BMI number exceeding 25) you should consider doing something about it for the sake of your health.

BMI Categories:

?Underweight = <18.5
?Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
?Overweight = 25–29.9
?Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Your BMI is 22.9. Normal. It's probably better to get your body fat tested though, that is what really matters.
