according to this calculator;

I have a lower BMI for my age group than 78% of males in the UK

but I have a higher BMI than 55% of global males of my age

& if everyone my age came up to my BMI it would add 18.5 million tonnes to global bodyweight :)

where are you?

    Seems legit.

    Edit: Pic too big but it says

    "You have a higher BMI than 100% of males aged 15-29 in your country"
    "You have a higher BMI than 100% of males aged 15-29 in the world"

    You have to switch to pounds... pretty sure you aren't 160 kilos.

    BMI is legitimately the worst possible measure of healthiness.

    I am about the same shape as a globe, but not big enough to generate my own gravitational pull.

    The good news is that, in Micronesia, I'm considered skinny.

    Lower BMI than 81% of males 45 - 60 in my country, and lower than 59% of the global average. Not bad! (Even if BMI is pretty useless)
