    According to this I am the FATTEST PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

    I hope I get some kind of prize.


    Ha! Me too. I have more body fat that 99% of US females in my age group. Seriously. :noway:

    How can you calculate body fat percentage based on sex, age, height and weight. Complete rubbish! The BBC should know better.
    I hope you're right because that made me feel pretty horrible for a second there :(

    Your numbers
    Fat Index
    21bmi
    BMI is an estimate of the body’s fat content based on a person’s height and weight
    National
    Below average
    You have less body fat than 89% of females aged 15-29 in your country
    Global
    Below average
    You have less body fat than 62% of females aged 15-29 in the world


    Did you know?
    If everyone in the world had the same body fat as you, it would remove 38,726,255 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population
    You're most like someone from Guinea-Bissau*

    I find this rather motivating actually.

    I currently have 20.5% body fat - not perfect - but not nearly like the results this website spits out. The BMI doesn't take consideration for muscular builds so out the window for me (and many others).

    I did get a laugh though. If everyone was like me the world's population would be about 55 million tonnes heavier! :laugh:

    I am bellow in both my country and globally. And I am more like a person from Vietnam.
    And "If everyone in the world had the same body fat as you, it would remove 286,984,952 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population ".
    This was cool.

    I have a 17.8% body fat, and I think this is unacurate.

    Below Average everywhere....shocking for my age range and the age range I will be in soon (I checked both since I plan on maintaining this weight for awhile lol)

    OK... I don't think this thing is right. I have a BMI of 19. It says that I have less body fat than 86% of women 45 - 59, and that I have the body fat of someone from Bangladesh. I feel like I am at a good weight for me. I'm not starving. I just like being thin and healthy.
    I'm most likely from Ethiopia?!?!?! I'm really not THAT skinny...

    i would like to point out that you only see the bad stuff in the worst areas on the news. these places don't have 100% of the population startving 100% of the time, ffs!

    these countries have cities and lawyers and fast food joints. they have unique and rich cultures.

    to assume they are all little wide eyed skeletons sitting in dust, as far as the eye can see, for mile upon mile upon mile? just plain daft! that's like me assuming all americans weigh 300 pounds and wear stetsons.

    This really has nothing to do with body fat. It's just BMI.

    Interesting nonetheless, but it doesn't body composition into account whatsoever.

    (Glad they seemed to have changed it - at the start of the thread they seemed to be actually referencing 'body fat' rather than 'BMI')

    Also, interesting that if I switched from 29 to 30, I go from higher than 66% of the population in my country to 53%.

    I guess we're tied for first place!

    Same here...I am apparently fatter than 97% of women in my country and 100% of women my age globally and I'm most like someone from Tonga...oh and btw...they are at the top of the fat list! Ugh...I WAS feeling better about myself. It's okay though, more motivation to lose for us fatties. :)

    If I lost 45 pounds I would feel pretty good about that website. Until then, I'm going to insist that it's complete rubbish.

    lol, forgot to move it from kilos to lbs the first time and almost had a heart attack. Heheh.


    Apparently I am above fat for my place, above fat globally... and I am most like someone from Samoa.. which sounds about right since I am tall and gigantic. And have awesome hair. The end.

    Hahahaha! I did too, and about cried!
