My BMI is 26.7, but my body fat index is 7%. Am I fat or skinny?

1. you must have alot of muscle mass, because 25+ is considered an overweight BMI yet 7% is a borderline low/average body fat remember, muscle weighs more than fat!
2. Thats kinda what happened to me! My BMI is 24.9 but my body fat is 19.4! Your just normal. :)
3. BMI is not really about fat. It's not really the best way to determine fat. Technically a body builder would have an obese BMI since they have so much weight in their muscles. Go with you fat index.
4. A BMI above 25 is overweight, but the BMI scale does not take muscle mass into consideration. So, with 7% body fat, I'd guess that you are pretty muscular. I don't think you have anything to worry about. You're just perfect.
5. I don't think you're seriously asking this question seeing as 7% body fat quite a bit lower than normal. This does highlight why BMI is a terrible standard for measuring fitness.
6. You are not fat nor skinny, you are just extremely muscular and lean.
7. Your BMI alone suggests you are overweight but BMI only factors in weight and height. This is a crude measurement but works fine to screen for overweight in the average build person. If you have more muscle than average your BMI will be higher but this does not mean you are necessarily overweight or unhealthy. Your body fat index is a better indicator of health and if yours is 7%, it is likely that you do not have an excess amount of fat. Here is a BMI chart to make sure your BMI was measured correctly: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.htm Another useful indicator of health (when it comes to weight and excess body fat) is your waist to hip ratio (waist circumference divided by hip circumference). The ideal ratio is 0.7 for women and 0.9 for men. A little fat on your hips isn't unhealthy, but excess fat around your waist is associated with increased risk for diabetes, heart disease and other issues. The short answer to your question: You're probably not fat or skinny but it's hard to tell based on just two numbers, and without knowing your age or sex.
8. BMI and body fat index are only two tools to use in determining your ideal health goals. My first question is by what method did you determine your 7% body fat? Assuming this data is accurate, my next question is what gender are you? Then what is your age? Followed by how physically active are you? Nationality/Race? These things play a part in the overall answer to your question, "Am I fat or skinny?" And then there's the question of whether or not you see adipose tissue (a.k.a. "cellulite") near the surface of your dermis ("skin"). "Fat" and "skinny" are not very readily definable words. They are too vague, due to their relative nature. Do you mean "overweight" and "underweight"? If so, then I'd ask, "Judging by what standard? Averages of your peers? Range of healthy function of your vital organs?" You give far too little data for anyone who is qualified to give you an answer to do so effectively.
