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. Big bone, muscular hunks are ofter characterized as overweight per standard measures, although they really aren't.

The problem is with the standard measures that don't account for a lot of things besides height and weight, and not with the person.

For more detail, check the FDA websites and look at the details and assumptions made for their BMI charts.
