 Formul
a
Weight Gain = energy consumed is
greater than energy expended = more
food intake but less physical exertion
Weight Loss = energy consumed is less
than energy expended = more physical
exertion but less food intake
Weight Maintenance = energy
consumed equals energy
expended
=
physical exertion is the same
with food intake
 Body Mass Index
It is a(BMI)
rough measure of body composition
that is useful for classifying the health risks
of body weight. It is also based on the
concept that a person’s weight should be
proportional to height.
BMI is calculated by dividing your body
weight (expressed in kilograms) by the
square of your height (expressed in
meters).
Example:

Weight: 130 pounds (convert into

kilos) x 1kg / 2.2 pounds = 59 kg

Height: 5 feet 3 inches (convert to

meters) x .0254 meters / inch = 1.6 m
At low values of BMI, weight
gain should be achieved. For
normal values, weight
maintenance is
recommended. Healthy
eating and active physical
activity will be beneficial
maintaining
in a healthy weight.
