Example of cases:

Mr. Ali had a current body weight of 70kg and height of 165cm. he is having a sedentary lifestyle. Calculate the BMI in order to determine whether he is overweight or not? Calculate the calorie need by him that is compatible with his lifestyle.

STEP 1
Calculate the BMI:
70/(1.65x1.65) = 25.71 kg/m2
therefore, he is overweight.

STEP 2
Calculate the calorie needed by the body:
Mr. Ali is sedentary. Therefore, by using the quick method. The calorie needed are:
20-25kcal/kg BM
To calculate the calorie needed:
20 x 70 (current body weight) = 1400kcal
25 x 70 (current body weight) = 1750kcal
Therefore, the calorie need by Mr. Ali that is compatible with his lifestyle is between 1400kcal to 1750kcal.
