No, I would never call anyone fat. You are 'technically' overweight, but you may still have an acceptable body fat percentage if you have a larger frame or a higher muscle mass. Some atheltes and competitive body builders may have less than 5% body fat and be classed as obsese because of BMI! Have your body fat percentage checked instead. It should be less than 25%. HTH : )

Height: 5 feet, 10 inches
Weight: 185 pounds
Your BMI is 26.5, indicating your weight is in the overweight category for adults of your height. Normal would be 18.5-24.9

I would not say you are fat, but it wouldn't hurt to loose a few pounds unless you are super buff. I am your height and 125lbs, but some people think I am skinny. I think it's all in the your percentage of body fat. There's scales on the market now that tell you you %body fat. That might be a better way to determine.

considering that a BMI of 30 or over is clinically obese, i would say your overweight. a normal bmi is between 18 and 22.
