If I am about 5'10", 230 pounds, am i fat?

Answer 1

If you calculate your BMI from those measurements you fall into the obese category. See for yourself here http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

Answer 2

It,s really hard to say because it pretty much depends on your body composition. If you have a lot of muscle, then i would say no you arent overweight. However if you have a lot of fat making up your body, then i would say you might want to lose some weight. Your body composition is made up of two components: fat mass and fat free mass. Fat mass is just that:fat. Fat free mass, is bone, muscle, and blood. I would suggest going to a nutritionist or a local gym and finding out if you can have your percent body fat taken. This is a good starting point to assess whether or not you are really overweight. The nutritionist will most likely take skinfold measurements and then put the numbers into an equation to tell you your percent fat. He/she should also tell you where you fall in the range for your gender. After that, I would suggest taking your results and maybe starting an exercise program with the nutritionist. If you're already on one, then keep it up! The best thing you can do for your body is to eat right and exercise. Hope this helps! I also want to add that BMI (Body Mass Index) is not the end all be all for assessing whether someone is fat or not. It does not take muscle into account. Almost everybody who looks to be a normal weight and size falls into the overweight category on those charts so take it with a grain of salt.

Answer 3

Ok, first i need to know if you're a guy or a girl.

If you're a guy, you can weight that much, and you are considered over weight. You may not be considered fat, since people who have muscle weigh more than people who have an equal amount of fat.

If you're a girl, then yes you're are most likely fat.

See a doctor to make sure.

Answer 4

It depends on your bodycomposition - (makeup of fatfree mass and fat). If you are between 10-15% bf then i'd say no. If your body fat is 15+ and in to the twenties, I'd say ya. Im the same height and weight, and Ive gut a gut and handles - so if you look like me, ya you're overweight.
