What is Healthy Weight?
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.

Another way to estimate your potential health risk is to measure your waist circumference. It is also a good estimate of visceral fat, the dangerous internal fat that coats the organs.
Waist circumference measurement is simple, reliable, and correlates well with abdominal fat content irrespective of the BMI. 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.
