I am overweight but most of it is muscle (seriously) as I am a rugby player. I have a friend who is underweight though so it looks funny when we stand next to each other, so, are you overweight,underweight or average?

I am at my ideal weight for my height and build. In answer to the OP question, that would put me at perfect but I don't see that as an option choice.

I did an article on the BMI several years ago about how it wasn't worth the electrons it takes to calculate it.
Most people have heard of Lou Ferrigno, the original Incredible Hulk.
At the time I was approximately Mr. Ferrigno's height, 6'4, his weight, more or less 275, and about his age.
Which would give us both the exact same BMI.
Except for one problem. He was still doing body building appearances. He had NO appreciable body fat on him, anywhere.
Something I couldn't say then, and still can't as I've picked up a few pounds.
But according to the BMI, we were both obese.
Sure, I am. Him, you tell him.

How does one conclude if they're underweight or not (average)?
Did you try the calculator: http://www.healthycalculators.com/body-weight.php
I'd say maybe underweight. I don't weigh much however I have gained some pounds.
I am overweight and intend to loose two stones i got soem diet pills from the doctor that do not work so i guess i just need more exercise and less sugar .I do have a sweet tooth...
I'm underweight, but in pretty good health. I don't put on much weight, despite how much I eat. Sadly, this means I'm hungry every few hours.
