Fat with just weight & height

[imaenigma]

I've got a guy (on another board) claiming to be a personal trainer that says a 21 year old female that's 5' 9" tall and weighs 165 lbs is obese. He also claims to be able to judge weight & height from a photo. Comments please on either or both issues.

Her Body Mass Index would be about 24.4... needs to be 30 to be obese. Shes far from that. If she has over 32% body fat she'd be obese too, which Im sure she doesn't

The person he is talking about is model Crystal Renn.
He also claims this photo as proof.

hahahhahahahhaha... I'm 5'10" and 162... I'd like to see him judge my pics... he would miss, I guarantee it.

he must be taking into account bf% and her age... which for age of 21, would be close... in the 30%
