IMO person in shape with muscular body not worried about fat. It’s use slobs that have beer belly size of ringer washing machine that needs simple calculations height vs weight to determine if fat. BMI standard not perfection.

IMO fat is the problem, the myth of being big boned is myth. You can be muscular and have fat. For that maybe the fat pinch good indicator. Football linemen are good example muscular with fat so they can throw their weight around, but excess weigh my have cardiovascular underlined problems? Body builder another example lean and muscular but maybe lacking in cardio? IMO MMA or college wrestler prefect specimen strength and endurance lean mean fighting machine.
