Lebron james BMI says he is overweight?

Posted by · Leave a Comment 

I went to espn.com and lebron james’s profile says he is 6’8 250 pounds. I used an online bmi calculator and his bmi is 27.46, and anything over 25 is considered overweight. But i looked for his wingspan and it is about 7 feet. So is he really overweight or the bmi calculator isn’t acurate?

If the BMI calculator isn’t acurate, then I am not overweight. I am 5’9 174 lbs.

No, it’s just BMIs aren’t accurate (or just plain wrong).

I mean, if his BMI is 27.46, how much muscle weight and fat weight is that? You can’t tell.

It doesn’t take into consideration muscle weight or body fat weight. So no, I never take them seriously.

Most medical and health organizations already stopped using BMIs and switch to body fat percentages. These are accurate.

250 lbs is the average minimum for most bodybuilders. You have to be crazy to call them overweight/fat :P

Cheers :)
