Document Summary

Men"s weight is generally on the higher end and women"s on the lower end. Healthy weight is more than just a height/weight ratio. Bodyweight greater than expected for specific height(using chart) *it is possible to be overweight but not fat because of lean muscle(which weighs more than fat) but this is usually not the case. Healthy amount of body fat for a typical 20-29 year old male = 7-10% or 11-13% Essential fat mass: necessary for normal physiological functioning (eg. nerve conduction) ~3-7% body weight in men ~10-15% of body mass in women. Storage fat:(aka fat reserves) not essential for health. Too much or too little far can be unhealthy. Body fat % measured in many way (txtbk) Not actually a measure of fatness (which defines obesity), but is typically used to determine obesity. Adult"s health risk can be classified based on bmi. In theory weight management is simply burning all calories that you consume.
