Haha what a fricking r-slur, linemen do not have <= 10% body fat. Average lineman body fat is 24.8%, 25% body fat is considered obese for men.
LinebackersLinemen are less healthy than even the general public, and it states that 60% of them have metabolic syndrome.Jump in the discussion.

You're right, I got terminology confused , though I suspect that Redditor did as well and was also thinking of linemen. (Linebacker average statistics are almost identical to average NFL player statistics.) From the statistics I saw, linebackers have an average body fat % from 15-19 (perfectly fine numbers) and are, on average, 6'2 and 240 lbs (with the new BMI calculator that's a 29.4 BMI). So yeah BMI is inaccurate for them but they are the elite of the elite, and their BMI is at highest around 30.

Not surprising, since most foids dont want a muscular definition ( ) so if they train its mostly light cardio (nothing wrong with that ) and just watch their weight by food intake. The trend to fat asses ( ) probably exacerbates that further.

I'm generally fond of the New BMI calculator but that helps account for BMI being too generous for shortlets (IIRC it's too generous for any height <= 5'8). For 6'2 men it only increase the healthy range by about 10lbs, so even with tall men the ones bitching about BMI are still going to be fatties. And unless you do as much physical activity as a coal miner, it's still going to be too generous.

Well, you can if youre terminally skinnyfat or just terminally sedentary. But we're talking "woke up after years comatose" levels of sedentary if a healthy-weight person can't walk up a flight of stairs.
And anyone without an excuse like that is extremely unlikely to stay skinny for long in the face of the overabundance of highly processed, highly caloric-dense and addictive foodslop.

Daily reminder that BMI measurements alone is far more likely to fail to detect obesity than falsely detect it, when compared to other body fat determination methods.
Second daily reminder that BMI is mostly a cost saving tool, and basically, you'll know a fatty when you see one. Doing a real test costs time and money, but punching your height and weight into some 200 year old neurodivergent frenchman's formula is free.

Beauty of bmi is that all you need is your eyes to determine if bmi is right tool.
Dose this person look like he works out 5 times in week.
And even if someone is muscle bound and massive. There still should be concersation is it really healthy to be so massive.

I just don't eat anything after 5:30pm
Being slightly hungry isn't life threatning lol. This also forces your body eat away at visceral fat overnight while you are asleep: it takes energy to simply be alive, and your body will use the stored visceral fat as a source of energy in the absence of other energy sources.

Frankly, your paladin said that he was going to commit genocide. That's a lot. Especially coupled with how you have described orcs as being tribal and shamanistic and humans as being settlers, it gets into colonialist vibes really fast. Indigenous Peoples' Day was Monday in the US, so depending on the bard player's demographics, things could be particularly raw.
