the story.. ngehehehe... Well, last semester i really gained a lot of
weight due to our intro and final camp. Well, usually i just ate once a
day and hav a few other courses later, but during camping, due to the
exhausting atmosphere and scheduled time to eat, i was eating 3 to 4
times daily during the camp. just imagine, the first time i set foot in
Sarawak, i only weight 55kg and now gained to 63kg. But, i'm glad that
all of those shufflin' paid off, coz i lost 2kg from doin those
harstyle moves.. ngeheheheh... well, at least i lost some weight..
heheh..
ahakss.. here is what i've studied last semester in Nutrition class...
try to calculate ur Body Mass Index (BMI) and try to see, whether ur in a good shape, overweight, or in need of gaining weight.
Best of Luck!
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight
and height. BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness for people. BMI
does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI
correlates to direct measures of body fat, such as underwater weighing
and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).1, 2 BMI can be
considered an alternative for direct measures of body fat.
Additionally, BMI is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of
screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
How is BMI calculated and interpreted?
Calculation of BMI
BMI is calculated the same way for both adults and children. The calculation is based on the following formulas:
| Measurement Units | Formula and Calculation |
| Kilograms and meters (or centimeters) |
Formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)]2
With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight
in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Since height is
commonly measured in centimeters, divide height in centimeters by 100
to obtain height in meters.
Example: Weight = 68 kg, Height = 165 cm (1.65 m) Calculation: 68 ÷ (1.65)2 = 24.98
|
| Pounds and inches |
Formula: weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x 703
Calculate BMI by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by
height in inches (in) squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of
703.
Example: Weight = 150 lbs, Height = 5’5” (65") Calculation: [150 ÷ (65)2] x 703 = 24.96
|
| BMI | Weight Status |
| Below 18.5 |
Underweight |
| 18.5 – 24.9 |
Normal |
| 25.0 – 29.9 |
Overweight |
| 30.0 and Above |
Obese |

BMI = Weight / Height x Height
= 61kg / 166cm x 166cm
= 22.13 ( yay! i'm normal! lolz )
