Good news brehs only 36.9% of Black men are considered obese in the US.

As these guys said the bmi shyt is fukked but one look around this country and prolly 75% of the ppl i see are

BMI should be used to analyze groups and not persons

Black women get some leeway because they tend to store more fat in their hips and booty while Asian, Latina and white women store excess visceral fat right in the gut (especially Asian and central American broads).

Having said that, I do see black women in the gym but not nearly enough. BUT......black women usually have the most balanced workout routines from what I've observed. Seen plenty of sistas get cardio in and then mix in some free weights and machine weights.

Hispanic women at my gym spend all their time doing squats, bicep curls, tricep extensions and leg press. They'll do very light cardio but rarely anything more than a walk. They seem to workout almost exclusively to achieve a certain look. This is mainly the white Hispanics. The "indios" (Mestizos) will have that crazy azz cardio if they're in shape.

East Asian and Indian broads almost never lift weights unless their husband/boyfriend is standing over them. Usually just treadmill or elliptical....at a very low intensity. Indian women are definitely the WOAT in the gym. Indian dudes will try and are usually pretty persistent but Indian broads age the worst with good reason. White girls age fast but those bytches will be on the squat rack and doing yoga at 6 am. Indian broads barely know how to operate the treadmill and rarely even break a sweat. Rarely see an Indian broad under age 45.

White broads are all over the place....from heavy cardio, to wannabe crossfit, to straight yoga. They usually are the most intense but look the least happy. Everyone else is grinding for health (mostly) but you can tell the white broads are just scared of getting fat.

Cheat on her with a PAWG or PAAG according to the chart.

I'm thinking of dipping into the PAAG pool. Just need to find a PAAG.

All that bread ain't good for you.

It’s more than just bread, lol

How do you convince your girl to lose weight. We need to hold black women accountable. I looked up what my girl should weigh and I was flabbergasted.. my girl is considered obese

leave her. make sure to tell her you’re leaving because she’s fat; then sit back and watch the lbs fly off of her

Just because they weigh less doesn’t mean they look better

 

[Sauce Dab]

If we’re using that BMI calculator then I’m sure at least 70% of this board would be considered obese

This is obvious to anybody that sees black men in real life.

The crazy thing is that chart is thrown off by BMI, which puts even super in shape dudes in the overweight category.

I'm 6'7 250lbs and considered overweight by CDC standards when people think I'm a professional athlete when they see me in real life.

Black men are easily the most in shape race of men and it's not close. Only reason Asians are lower than us is because they naturally have slender builds, but they're frail.

People need to quit letting the CDC or whomever the hell else tell them what obese is considered....If you are 6'7 and 250lbs it's no way you are obese....Literally no damn way....They want a bunch of frail mofos running around.

Why are you still with your black girlfriend, and making “woe is me” posts about how she looks if this is what you’re thinking of doing? Clearly the relationship is not sustainable so leave and go after what you want...

Real talk nikka! fukk what these doctors talking about! I went to my doc last week and he talking about I got high blood pressure and should lose weight. I said nikka please, I ain't obese! fukk your BMI. shyt outdated and doesn't apply to Black folks. We built different. And those health tests fugazi.

BMI is definitely useful as you age.

Extra weight is hard on the joints and few people are walking around at 12% or less body fat. That said, I've read that being in the "overweight" range is the healthiest. People that have overweight BMI live longer and are healthier on average than people with normal BMI or obese BMI.

Makes sense.

Normal BMI is almost frail at any height and you'll be more susceptible to fractures and wasting away with illness. Obese means you're carrying around quite a bit of extra weight. Even if you look good and it's muscle, it's hard to maintain excess mass as you age. Consuming a lot of calories.

Most healthy older men and women look very "average" or slightly heavier than average. I've never seen a 65+ year old that looked really healthy being super skinny or really big either. Old and swole doesn't exist without HGH or GOAT genetics. Notice how a lot of football players cut weight down when retiring, even the ones that weren't super heavy as players.

I've noticed the oldest people in my family are:

Oldest men: pretty slim tbh...or healthy on the BMI chart

Oldest women: slightly overweight...probably 2-3 over the healthy BMI score for their height.

No one over 75 in my fam is fat.

My son has a high bmi. He’s tall for his age and weighs a lot but he’s very muscular.

I’ve noticed in his class kids are either frail looking, lanky, fat, or doughy soft like. My son on the other hand is solid—every part of him is just hard and defined already. He got strong calves just like me.

His frame overall is still somewhat slim. When he’s dressed he looks average in weight(not too thin, not fat, etc) but that boy is heavy and dense. It’s hard to explain but He’s def. a mesomorph.

With the right workout plan, He’s going to be so swole when he gets older, one of those brehs who’s going to put on muscle easy peasy. I can already tell.

I’ll probably start working his little ass out and get him into weight lifting in a few years(he’s only in second grade lol!!!!) as he approaches puberty.

I’ve noticed since he stopped eating oatmeal for breakfast, and started only eating yogurt and meat he’s lost a few pounds.

Carbs are the devil of us all.

Carbs aren't too bad.

I was joking.
I eat carbs with no fukks given. But everything in moderation.
