Q: I was reading questions 82 to 84. What I found interesting is that you did not consider then guy who was 6 foot and 200 pound to be either very muscular or very chubby(fat) for his height. I know that you are not a fan of bmi as it does not take account of muscle weight and body fat percentage. At 6 foot, bmi would put a 165 pounds(roughly) as a middle figure with a spread of 14 pounds or so above or below 165 pounds ? this spread would be a healthy weight. 200 pounds would end up well into the overweight category for a 6 foot male. I know bmi is not exact, but the fact it gives such a large weight spread within the healthy weight range would allow a person to vary from a slight, very lean to a very muscular or pretty chubby(fat) build. In question 82, you said that if the person asking the question was happy with the way the look, that weight and body fat are not worth worrying about, how can that be so when this person would a appear to be significantly overweight with fat ? they did say they did not have a muscular build. I will say, if a person looks thin or looks big it doesn't matter what others think as long as the individual is healthy and happy with themselves.

A: The person in those questions said that he looks slim and not muscular, so it's difficult to guess what their body composition is. And they didn't state their height in question 82 so I was answering it based only on what they said. At 6 feet, 200 pounds he certainly is either quite muscular or has quite a bit of extra fat which should be noticeable. Since the person specifically said that neither is the case, it was difficult for me to second-guess them. In situations like this 'internet personal training' is quite limited -- the only way to settle this is to actually see the person.
