Body Mass Index

Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 . . . your bmi is 21.5, girl! don't listen to what anybody says, do you think you're overweight? Many people come in very different sizes, structures, and shapes! if you feel fat, why not try eating healthily and excercising for 30 minutes at least 3 times a week : ) ^v^ . . . be happy with who you are!

I deleted the comment above because that girl was just plain nonsense!

The BMI does not take into account body composition at all with its measurement. For example, a person with is 5 feet tall and weighs 110 pounds has a BMI of around 21. -- These are the measurements for my 8-year old daughter. Now, I also have a sister-in-law who is 5 feet 1 inch tall, she is a serious bodybuilder, and she weighs 125 pounds, making her BMI over 23. My sister-in-law is DEFINITELY NOT "fatter" than my 8 year old girl, yet her BMI is higher than my daughter.

Isnt it BMI(Body Mass Index).... I could be wrong

The BMI for a 5'4" person weighing 113 lbs is 19.4. This is considered a normal weight.

No, you lose muscle mass by over exercising without eating enough or by not eating enough to keep up your muscularity. Doing push ups all day can mess some stuff up, though, as you are stressing them out excessively. Building muscle is literally tearing your muslces, which is geneally good, as your food repairs the tears, making them bigger, stronger, more toned, and more durable. It is much better to max your self out and push for another 5 to 10 reps once or maybe twice a day, and rest or exercise something else the next day, giving your pecs a rest so that you can continue the routine the next day, and increase it as much as you can handle in a week or so. Do your self a favor and take it a little more easy if you continually work your chest muscles over the entire day, as doing 5-15 fast ones is better than trying to do 50 full nose touchers 10 times a day. Trust me, I know, for I am currently doing 2 sets of 60 full ones, plus 150 full reps on each arm by itself with 15 pound bar bells, all within about 1-2 hours, drinking a glass or two between sets. Water is the best choice by the way for a thirst quencher to hydrate your body for exercise.

Your age and gender have nothing to do with your recommended caloric intake. There is no general answer to this question. You should be consuming enough calories that you a) have enough energy to survive, and b) maintain a stable [[body mass index]]. That caloric intake should be approximately 50% from carbohydrates, 25% from proteins, and 25% from fats.

To be quite honest I am really worried about my weight as well i am 165 which is 5 away from you and i weight 58 kg just like you to me that is just perfect your weight and height is just perfect don't worry about as thing i wish i was like you its the fat that's in your way !!

It depends, because there's no such thing as an average woman - she might have a petite , medium or large frame which will affect her weight or take part in a sport that leads to the build up of muscle mass, increasing weight. So long as she's fit and happy, weight is unimportant.

Measuring your body mass cannot directly determine your overall body fat. BMI, or Body Mass Index, is designed to determine a healthy weight of a person based on their overall height, age and gender. The reason this index cannot determine your precise body fat is that individuals as the same height with the same BMI may have different body types resulting in the same weight. Overall BMI assists with determining a healthy weight but cannot actually measure you in muscle or fat.

The BMI test isn't accurate for people under 18

The same height and weight is the same BMI, no matter what your age. Sedentary people are likely to gain weight over time, and so older sedentary people are likely to have a higher BMI (higher weight).

There are 3 major ways to assess body composition. The first is taking BMI, which compares height to body weight. It's not the most accurate way to assess physical health because some individuals weigh more because of more lean body mass, which is better than carrying extra weight from fat. The other method(s) determine actual fat percentage and provide risks for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and and other health related issues. This includes weight scales that use inductance and mechanical means of attaining body fat percentage. Lastly, taking body measurements such as hip to waist rations help determine ones level of risk for cardiovascular disease. Having a larger waist and abdomen indicates higher risk. In general, regardless size, lower amounts of body fat, especially in the mid sections, can indicate less risk for cardiorespiratory and metabolic disorders

Eating healthy can make you strong, because protein is the building blocks that builds your muscles and makes them stronger. All proteins are not created equal either. When I was doing a study on proteins I found that animal and whey proteins strengthened and built muscles more so than whey protein. Of course good carbs are what help give you the energy to make it through your workouts. Too many carbs or empty carbs, just get stored as fat if you don't burn them all off.

It correlates with disease risks

For those who use metric units:
To figure out your BMI, take your weight (in kilograms) and divide it by your height (in meters). Now take that number and divide it by your height again. Now you have your BMI!

In a formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height^2(m)


For those who use imperial units:
To figure out your BMI, take your weight (in pounds) and divide it by your height (in inches). Now take that number and divide it by your height again. Once you have that answer, multiply that by 705, and you have your BMI!

In a formula: BMI = 705 * weight (lb) / height^2 (in)

go to yahoo answers and there is several pictures there that will help.

Firstly do not use the word 'fat'.

If it is a close friend or partner you can be a little more forthright than with someone you know less well

Try euphemisms such as slightly overweight. Explain that there are more clothes made for the slimmer build and overweight people tend not to live so long.

BMI results are distorted in people with high muscle mass and it does not represent body composition
