Whats your Body Mass Index ???

In terms of average BMI (Body Mass Index), Pakistanis and Chinese are at 23, Indians 21 and Bangladeshis 20.5, all within normal range of 18.5 to 24.9. The average values of BMI for Europe, Middle East and North and South America are much higher.

Asia has 61 per cent of the world's population but only 13 per cent of the world's weight. In contrast, Americans make up only five per cent of the world's population but account for a third of the world's weight due to obesity, according to a recently published research paper.

The researchers calculated the average global body weight at 137 pounds, but in North America the average was 178 pounds, while in Asia it was 57.7kg (127lb). In their report, the researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine worked out the weight of the global population at 287 million tonnes. They estimate that 15 million tons of this mass is due to people being overweight, and 3.5 million tons due to obesity.

Thats true, but since most people arent bodybuilders, bmi should be fine.

Not only bodybuilders even people who trained to be weight lifters like me look kinda fat but we have good muscle density ....maybe not like bodybuilders...unlike bodybuilders our muscles dont "melt down" over the years even if we stop training completely.
 
25.9 is my bmi.

I'm a beast/Punjabi Chaudhry. No pot belly on me. :D

I'm not a body builder but my arms are sculpted and solid.
