What is Health Weight?
As overweight and obesity are the serious threat to your health, it is important to understand the right way to lose weight.To kick start, understand which BMI classifications you are in.
When you exercise or simply expend energy through physical activity, you burn additional calories. When you combine your Basal Metabolic Rate (your daily calorie needs) with the calories you burn through physical activity, you get your Total Daily Energy Expenditure.
This is what is known as your maintenance calories. If you eat this amount of calories you will maintain your weight. You lose weight by having a calorie deficit. By exercising (burn calories) and wise eating, you may achieve the calorie deficit to lose weight. Click the button below to calculate your TDEE now!
Carrying excess body fat around your middle is more of a health risk than if weight is on your hips and thighs.
Waist circumference is a better estimate of visceral fat, the dangerous internal fat that coats the organs.
Waist Circumference (WC) measurement is simple, reliable, and correlates well with abdominal fat content irrespective of the BMI. WC is also an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is most useful in individuals who are in the normal and overweight categories of the BMI.
In those with BMI > 35 kg/m2 it is unnecessary to measure WC as it loses its predictive value..
