Body Mass Index (BMI)
| |
|
| |
BMI is a term that isn't completely familiar to everyone. It is short for Body Mass Index. It approaches a standard, and is the common choice for physicians and for research concerning obesity. With a mathematical formula, BMI uses a person's height and weight for the calculation. Your Body Mass Index is equal to your weight in kilograms divided by your height in meters squared. It is expressed as BMI=kg/m2. In the table below, the risks for disease associated with being over weight or obese are listed based on BMI and waist size for women and men. For your convenience, use the calculator below the chart for your BMI. |

Below are two daily calorie counter charts. The first chart estimates the calories burned daily for men. The second chart estimates the calories burned daily for women. In each calorie counter column, there is a lower number based on individuals with passive lifestyles and a higher number based on individuals with a moderate degree of physical activity working and exercising. Use these as a guide to provide calorie intake levels for you to lose weight. It's very simple. Find your chart listing and lifestyle. Stay below the calorie count for you, and you will lose weight. It's as simple as less calorie intake than you burn in order to lose weight. |
