The CDC has a new report out from December 2018 which discusses average height and weight in the US by race and sex.
The heaviest group is white males averaging a whopping 202.2 pounds with an average height of 5' 9.8" for an average BMI of 29.2.
On the distaff side the heaviest group is black females averaging 186.1 pounds with an average height of 5' 4" for an average BMI of 31.9. That means the average black female is obese.
To put this in perspective I'm male, 6' 0" (apparently I've shrunk an inch in my old age) and weigh around 180 pounds so the average black female in this country outweighs me. Asians are doing something right with men averaging 5' 6.8" and weighing 161.1 pounds for a BMI of 25.4 and females averaging 5' 1.5" and weighing 132.4 pounds for a BMI of 24.6.
