Are you medically obese?
I vary between overweight and obese. My waist is 32" and the most I every weigh (at the end of winter) is around or over 180lbs.
Here is a link to calculate your body mass index if you do not in which category you fall within.

I'm medically underweight
Which is really weird considering the fact that I have worked at Dunkin Donuts for 2 years, and other than going to work/school I never get off my computer..

My BMI calculates to 23.5.
I'm 180cm, and currently ~76kg. This is the heaviest I've ever been, currently hovering around 8% body fat.

this online test here i believe gives false positives.
although it may be correct for some, it may not be correct for all. this test doesn't take into consideration people who are mostly muscle mass and have a weight/height ratio that would make them "overweight" or "obese"

I take it you claim to be all muscle!!! LOL!! Me too.
But seriously this is not a difinitive test. Other risk factors need to be taken into account such as smoking, the type of diet you eat, how much exercise you get etc etc. The exercise bit may well effect your BMI which is why although I weigh more in the summer I am only overweight in the winter due to reduced physical activity. In the summer I cycle everywhere, go running, swimming and rarely get a cab. In the winter I am a cabbage.

You sure? 5-7% is really low, you either have to be skinny as a twig for that, or in fantastic shape.

BMI isn't meant for classifying people who are physically active, but it works quite well for most people. (sedentary adults)

If I lose 3 lbs, I'm normal. I could probably afford 10 though.

i dunno, i build muscle rather easily and i have to eat alot to just be comfortable...... i tend to burn alot of calories just by walking around and doing basic excercises.... when i really go at it, i gotta eat several large meals.
where i come from, guys are in that range of bodyfat. then theres those that are at the borderline 4%-2%..... theres even one guy that doesnt even register on the machines we got here..... he seems alright but is usually tired.....
oh yea my BMI is 24.3 so im barely normal by the average man's standards.....

I reckon that all you guys who say they can eat and eat and eat whatever they like without gaining weight may have a mystery friend in the form of a tapeworm!!!
I always miss out an option with these blasted polls...
