and BMR
BMI = Weight/(Height)² 56kg/(1.70m)² = 56kg/2.89m = 19kg/m²
BMI FORMULA
Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
Normal weight: BMI 18.5–24.9
Overweight: BMI 25.0–29.9
Obesity: BMI 30.0–34.9
CATEGORIES OF BMI
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
1 Cup of Rice (186g) = 242 Calories
Large Egg (68g) x2 = 156 Calories
1 pack of Pancit Canton x2 = 740 Calories
12oz Coke x2 = 300 Calories
Milk Tea = 453-500 Calories
TOTAL CALORIES PER DAY: 1,938 Calories
BMI FORMULA
What is measured in this method is not only the body fatness but the distribution of these stored fats in the body around the waist and hip. This method will help you analyze the relationship between your waist and hip measurements and understand your current body type and health status.
WAIST HIP RATIO
WRH= WAIST/HIPS
WAIST HIP RATIO FORMULA
Body composition is used to describe the percentage of fat and non-fat mass in the body. Body composition has two types
a.) body fat which are found in muscle tissues, skin and internal organs; and
b.) non-fat mass, these are the bones, muscles, water, and organs of the body
BODY FAT PERCENTAGE
AGE = 19
BMI = 23
(1.20 x 23) + (0.23 x 19) – 10.8 = 21.17 =
21% of Body Fat
BFP FORMULA ( MALE)
AGE= 25
BMI= 20.5
(1.2 x 20.5) + (0.23 x 25) - 5.4 = 24.95 =
25% of Body Fat
BFP FORMULA ( FEMALE)
Extremely Low: 2–5%
Very Lean: 6–8%
Lean: 9–13%
Moderate: 14–17%
Above Average: 18–24%
Significantly Above Average: 25% and above
MALE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE
Extremely Low: 10–13%
Very Lean: 14–17%
Lean: 18–22%
Moderate: 23–27%
Above Average: 28–32%
Significantly Above Average: 33% and above
