the other day i was talking to my fren about weight. she is smaller, shorter, about 150cm but she weighs more than me, by 1 or 2 kgs....i was so shocked and surprised!she was far from being fat, she is petite and i guess she was around 38kg or so.... later i asked another fren of mine and ask her to guess my petite fren's weight....her guess was about 46kg and when asked to guess my weight, she said 40kg... Y IS THIS SO?i really look tat thin meh???she said i look like i could fly when strong winds blow.....but seriously i never think i am skinny.mayb thin, average thin but certainly not skinny. i dun run away from food. my favourites are fried chicken, meat, and any fried stuff....sometimes i might remove the fats and skin(who wont when the fats are big fat yellow and oily chunks???) i admit i was quite thin a year ago....my tummy was quite tight at that time and i was quite proud of my slight abs....i was hardworkingly doing sit-ups a few times a week during holiday for a month or so. and initially i stayed at the uppermost floor in my hostel and i was forced to climb 70 flight of stairs.....and because of that i will ta pao my food, which is a a huge@$$ quantity and eat around 5p.m.i will be s bloated till about 11p.m which is the time i went to sleep. so i eat healthy and sleep healthy. so i was thin. but i've gained 4kgs since den..... but now i stumbled upon this chart
BMI Manual Calculation & Chart 1) Take your weight and multiply by 704.7 2) Take that number and divide it by your height squared (see below) height squared: 5'0" = 3600 5'1" = 3721 5'2" = 3844 5'3" = 3969 5'4" = 4096 5'5" = 4225 5'6" = 4356 5'7" = 4489 5'8" = 4624 5'9" = 4761 5'10" = 4900 5'11" = 5041 3) The remaining number is your BMI
4) Now look below to find how you measure up: Emaciated = UNDER 15 BMI Anorexic = Under 17.5 BMI Underweight = Under 19 BMI Normal = 19 - 24 BMI Overweight = 25 - 29 BMI Obese = +29 BMI
took the chart from a pro-ana pro-mia website p/s: the height is in inches and weight in pounds and i fall under the anorexic category by a margin of 0.06.....cis....but i am certainly not anorexic lor....i love to eat wan i tell u...i might not eat as much but i certainly eat when i'm bored, when i'm hungry and when i'm too free!!!
i think asians and caucasians shud have different sets of BMI counting cos our built is smaller, our bones are not as heavy. we are small size since ancient history..... asians are small because our genes make us small... |
