Various Ways To Know You Are Obese

High BMI Levels

Measuring your body mass index is a simple calculation to know whether or not you fall into the obese category. BMI is a method to quantify the amount of tissue mass (muscle, fat, and bone) in an individual, and then categorize that person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on that value. BMI is not used for muscle builders, long-distance athletes, pregnant women, the elderly or young children. This is because BMI does not take into account whether the weight is carried as muscle or fat, it simply shows just the number.
