re: Trump Is 6’3” And 244 lbs, Why Does Media Keep Saying He Is Obese?

BMI is not the best metric to use. I'm 6'2 and should be 180 pounds or so according to it (I was at one point and looked malnourished).
Doesn't take into account body composition. I doubt Trump's 244 is mostly muscle, but our media takes any chance to negatively paint the president.

Perhaps these charts are right then, medically speaking.
When I hear obese, I don’t think of 6’3” 244. I think overweight. Obese I think would be something like 6’3” 275. Morbid would be something like 6’3” 300.

Same 6’-2” and I was in the 180s in college and looked and felt under weight. I hover around 205 now. Feel my optimal is 195-200. Which is over weight for my height.

Just so you know.....your heart doesn’t know the difference.

its stupid. im 6'1' and the one time i was in the best shape of my life i was at 185 and was trying to win the state time trial championship and i fasted for like 3 days to try & lose a couple extra pounds and i couldn't drop an ounce.
like you i looked gaunt and undernourished but according to the BMI index i was still bordering on the 'overweight' section. never got into the 'normal' range despite training for hours a day and racing every other weekend.
eta i'm well over 200 now but i'm not racing and i can eat like a normal person and enjoy life even with a bit of a dad bod.

No, you should be under 195 to be considered "normal" range of weight. But, it is a reasonably sliding scale. No doc will fuss at a 6'2" 200 pounder as long as it isn't all around the waist.
If you're 6'2", 225 and you're not playing football or hockey for a living? You need to back away from the table, baw.
