A member asked:

Is it normal for a 5ft7 male to weigh 75kg? i work out a lot as i am a boxer & always eat healthy, but i still weigh 75kg with about 15% bodyfat.

Weight: The body mass index for this height and weight is 25.89 and is considered to be overweight. However, since your body fat is only 15%, the weight that is being used in the bmi calculation is primarily muscle and not fat and this is a good thing. Thus, in summary, the numbers you provided are healthy and you would not be considered overweight.

Should be ok: Based on your weight and height your bmi is 25.8 which is not too terrible. Remember you also are more in shape as you are a boxer and i hope you are eating healthy. I would not be concerned for you at this time.
