My business is in the fitness industry and have been working with people trying to change their bodies for three decades. The only true measure to know if you are overweight is to have a body composition test done. Like the one guy stated every bodybuilder is overweight using the BMI as a tool. It doesn’t work for people that have more muscle than average.
A male should have 15% body fat or lower to be considered in great shape (average North American male is actually high 20s%) and a woman should be 20% (average closer to mid 30s). Many people are clinically obese regardless of their weight on the scale. When these numbers come out about 36% of the US being obese they don’t mean clinically they mean morbidly obese, a whole other level.
