Can you be overweight with only muscle? Lol

You know how when someone says "overweight" they usually refer to it just being fat...but can you be called overweight if you have a lot of muscle?

Yes, which is why BMI is not accurate. Most pro football players qualify as obese based on their BMI.

@LeopoldBloom Bingo ... exactly. BMI is a joke.

@Synyster I think body fat percentage is a better measure, but there's a lot of variation with that as well. Some thin people are unhealthy and some fat people are very healthy. By any standard, this woman is overweight and obviously in great shape.
