Yes, the BMI scale does not take into account body fat percentage, so, it would be possible to be physically fit but clinically "overweight" due to muscle mass. It would also be possible to be "fat" but have a normal BMI, due to a lack of muscle tone.

∙ 15y agoIt is possible to be outside what is considered normal and fall into the obese category in the charts without being obese. It is a common occurance in body builders that the dense muscle mass puts them well over the normal weight for their height, yet there is no fat on their bodies.
