I saw Jordan’s IG Story talking about important points to take in mind about protein synthesis and one of them was “not being overweight / obese”, when is someone considered overweight?

While I don’t think it’s useful to delineate whether or not someone is overweight or obese, I do think it’s useful to have some handy cut offs for determining if someone is carrying too much body fat :

  1. BMI > 35
  2. WC > 37" for caucasian or black male, 34" for male of Asian descent
  3. Have obesity-related disease, e.g. high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, type II diabetes, etc.
  4. Bodyfat > 22% as a male
  5. I’m probably forgetting something off the top of my head
