The good old BBC. Enter your age, gender, height, weight (mass if you're scientific!), and country - you'll get in return your BMI, your difference to national and global average, what nation you're most like someone from, and for a bit of fun - if everyone in the world weighed as much/little as you how much extra/less weight the total population would be.

The country I'm closest to is Tochooo!

I said it's Tongcoughcough!

Alright - it's embarrassingly Tonga!

But I plan to move to Micronesia to give me some self-esteem.

I've shared with the group, now it's your turn.

I'm closest to El Salvador, but 7 months ago I would have been closest to Tonga as well.

I hope to never go back.

That'll be the Finlandia diet.

Angola.

To be average in the UK for my height I would have to be 13Kg heavier

I find this pretty surprising since I am not exactly skinny.

I am most like Ethiopia with my 188cm height and 68kg mass.

Sao Tome and Principe for me

when i submitted all the information it said i was above average.

Then i realized i had measurements in kilograms

im 95% lower than the average male in my country and 73% lower than the world, but it says im compare best with people in the Congo. i guess i can feel good about that
