Re: Am I Considered "Fat" or "Chubby"?
That might be a little more than normal for someone your height. A picture would say more than just weight. For me, I'm like 5'11 to 6'1 ( I haven't measured lately) and weight just over 200. I think that's the higher range of normal for my height. But you really can't tell by saying height and weight only. Your body fat and muscle could be more in your legs, calves, or you could be top heavy. Weight can be really misleading because, muscle weighs more than fat, that's why you hear about body builders and toned plp weighing as much as some obese plp. I wouldn't worry about being "chubby" or "fat" as that's not very much when you look at my mom's side of the family haha
