"Another idiotic use of BMI. BMI doesn't take into consideration the composition of body mass."

Well, I seriously doubt that it's going to throw the percentages off by that much, but it will some, particularly in the US, where you have a lot of guys who workout quite a bit.

I know "someone" who is technically overweight at 6' and 208 pounds, but this "someone" is also only around 10% bodyfat with a 33" inch weight, a six pack, and works out 5 days a week. And yes, that's part of the complete inadequacy of BMI.

My husband is like this. Walks all day for his job, barely any body fat, and he eats one meal a day. According to BMI he's overweight.
