well.. u can just calculate ur BMI, it is widely used and internationally the most accepted indicator for obesity.
BMI = weight(kg)/Height square (meters)
more than 25 is considered as overweight, 30 and above considered obese.
other methods are calculating your
Waist circumference : >102cm in male and >88cm in female = high abdominal fat
Waist-hip ration : >1.0 in men and >0.8 in women = abdominal fat accumulation
best = use ur weighing machine
hope that helps
BMI doesn't work well with bodybuilders. Because BMI uses our weight, and bodybuilders have muscle mass, which is heavy. So it indirectly messes up the BMI count. Bodybuilders' BMI might be >30, but have a very low body fat percentage.BMI = weight(kg)/Height square (meters)
more than 25 is considered as overweight, 30 and above considered obese.
