Well, it's a nice rationalization, but the only reason people are overweight is because they ate more calories than they burned.
Another reason is that the formula is just that ridiculous 'Twiggy' chart reduced to a formula. It makes no allowance for muscle mass, just assumes you are heavy with fat.

My cycling coach is 6' 210 pounds, so according to the chart he's overweight, at risk. So how does he qualify for Olympic Trials and UCI Worlds, and beat Marty Nothstein in the keiren at 2002 Elite Track Nationals?
