    […] the condition health researchers refer to as “overweight” was defined as having a body mass index, or BMI, of 25 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) to less than 30 kg/m² and obesity as a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher.

    What if you have someone who is really thin from the side but really fat from the front?

      That is the weirdest metric I can think of. The best I can come up with for myself is 46kg/square meter if I don’t crouch? So confusing. I weigh 20 lbs less than when I was completely ripped coming out of college. So I’ve lost muscle, and lost most fat I have ever gained. Guess I’m obese.
