BMI is a shitty assessment anyway.
I've been called obese simply because of my muscle mass because of that bullshit.
Lean af, but have big calves due to running and cycling.
BMI says I'm fat.
It and its graduate student purveyors can go fuck themselves
BMI would say 3/4 of football players are overweight or obese.
They are, with excessive visceral fat, and are prone to die early from a heart attack from it. Just because they have a shitload of muscle too doesn't make that healthy.
Muscle weighs more than fat
And higher body fat makes your muscles more effective too, so they have a decent chunk of body fat
Technically it's more dense, more mass per unit volume.
