Modifying your eating habits can aid you in managing your weight. Choosing for more
nutritious food can help lessen health risk and improve your shape and size. Some of the common
tips in weight management are including fruits and vegetables in your meal, reducing intake of
sweets, preparing your meal in a healthier way, and decreasing portion sizes.
Aside from taking note of your eating habits, you should also take note of your actual
weight as an indicator of health risk. This has something to do with getting your Body Mass Index.
It is a rough measure of body composition that is useful for classifying the health risk of body
weight. It is also based on the concept that a person’s weight should be proportional to height.
BMI is calculated by dividing your body weight (expressed in kilograms) by square of your
height (expressed in meters)
Example:
Weight : 130 pounds (convert into kilos) x 1kg/2.2 pounds =59 kg. Height: 5 feet and 3
inches (convert to meters) x .0254/inch =1.6 m
Formula:
Classification BMI
Underweight <18.5
Normal 18.5-24.9
Overweight 25.0-29.9
