5 How To Calculate Your Body Mass Body Mass; a ratio of body weight to height, used to measure body fat. BMR (Body Mass Ratio) BMI= Mass(lb) (Height(in)) 2 X 703 Weigh yourself on a scale Measure your height in inches Take your height in inches and square the number Divide your weight in pounds by the second figure (height in inches squared) Multiply the answer by the conversion factor of 703 if you used inches and pounds Judge your personal BMI results against the following scale.

6 How To Count Your Calories (Basal Metabolic Rate: BMR) Female Height 5 5 (65 inches) Weight 145 Pounds Age 24 years old Gender Female BMR: 1480 Daily Calories Female: 655+ ( 4.35 x your weight in pounds)+(4.7 x height in inches)- (4.7 x age in years) Male Height 5 8(68 inches) Weight 180 Pounds Age 19 years old Gender Male BMR: 3266 Daily Calories Male: 66+ (13.7x your weight in pounds)+(12.7x height in inches)- (6.8 x age in years)
