Do you think body type can be determined by weight & height?!


Question: I know a guy who's 6'1" & weighs 300 lbs. of MUSCLE. But when I tell people, they say it's impossible & he's FAT. Well, he LOOKS fat until he takes off his shirt & you see he's solid & packing with abs & the whole 9 yards. & then they're speechless.

I also know a guy who's ALSO 6'1" & weighed 230 & people considered him fat. I knew another guy who was 6'1" & weighed 245, but he wasn't really fat at all. His belly was a little flabby.

I'm a female who's 5'2" & weigh 300. I'm fat but not ALL THAT OBESE.

some people do have naturly heavyer weights....that's ture....and mussle mass weighs more than fat too(hence athleats being so heavy) but that only works so far

This is hard for me to believe.

Well I find it kind of hard to beleive that at 5'2 your not THAT obese, I got a friend whos 5'9 and 300 pounds and he looks like a ball, and the taller you are, the most weight you should have, so I guess you can determine it by weight & height

300 lbs @5' 2", i hope you are preparing for your heart attack. How can you not be that obese. I am 6 5 and 280 and I look fat, so don't kid yourself, you are grossly obese. But you sound just like the rest of us lazy *** Americans, making excuses.

No. you cannot determine a persons body type by weight and height and it is true that what might be overweight for one person of slim build might be right ot slightly underweight for a big built person.
However I find it hard to believe that as a short female you dont consider yourself morbidly obese at 300lb regardless of build unless you are comparing yourself to the bedridden gigantic people that you see on tv.
And before you take offense I am a 5'3" female who weighs 200lb and I am big built and I am very obese (though slimming) as well. I think you are looking at yourself with rose-tinted glasses.
