No thats deff NOT fat, i think 160 is deemed "normal" but 5'7 and 170 is in NO way "fat"

Re: Is a 170 pounds for a 5' 7" male fat?
all depends on what doctor you talk to. I've seen a 30lbs difference between what is the "healthy" weight for a person's height depending on who I've been to.

Re: Is a 170 pounds for a 5' 7" male fat?
No, i disagree with the rest, 5'7 and 170, no matter how you slice it, is not fat. Regardless of frame, or posture. You can not be "fat" at that height and that weight. Period.

Re: Is a 170 pounds for a 5' 7" male fat?
I'm 6' and once I went down to 165 lbs. I also looked sickly ill (probably because I was at the time).
That sounds like a pretty normal weight for that height, but again it depends on their frame.

BMI says that it's overweight. And it does sound fat to me.

Re: Is a 170 pounds for a 5' 7" male fat?
I'm roughly about the same height and weight and I don't see myself fat although I do have a slight gut and double chin but my arms and legs are what you might consider thin.

Most Americans are fat. Even what most Americans think is "normal" is fat to many people outside the US. I'm American btw, just something i've noticed. |

Re: Is a 170 pounds for a 5' 7" male fat?
170 is morbidly obese. Tell your "friend" to develop an eating disorder. Bulimia is easy but bad for your teeth. I'd crash diet and get no sleep whatsoever. It's healthy, I'm a doctor.

I'm Chinese, so everyone will tell you you're fat until you're on death's door from starvation. I finally had a relative tell me I was frighteningly thin when I was teetering under 100lbs (I'm 5'5") after getting the stomach flu and not being able to eat anything but apples for a month.  170lbs at 5'7" could be chubby depending if there's muscle or lack thereof. But I wouldn't consider it fat.

Re: Is a 170 pounds for a 5' 7" male fat?
Unless he's got a lot of muscle mass then yes. I speak this from personal experience, as someone who is 5' 8" and has been that weight before. It's not outright obese, but there's going to be a bulging / floppy belly and saggy butt cheeks going on.

However, being this short does have a sharper curve. If I gain five to ten pounds, then it really shows. 170 and a 5'7" frame looks like one doesn't miss any meals, yet isn't terribly over weight. |

Re: Is a 170 pounds for a 5' 7" male fat?
170 lbs is considered overweight for a male who is 5'7. BMI is like 26.6 when healthy is considered 18-24.
