Using these two measurement values, fill in your waist and hip measurements.Nikolaidis PT, Rosemann T, Knechtle B.Next, measure the waist 1' (2.5 cm) above your belly button in inches (or centimeters).This spot will be slightly lower than your belly button. Using a tape measure, measure the hips in inches (or centimeters) at the top of the hip bone on the right front of the body.More body fat in the lower body (hips and thighs) suggests lower health risk. More body fat in the upper body (chest and waist) suggests increased health risk for elevated triglycerides, high blood pressure, stroke, longer time to conceive, heart disease or diabetes.

If you have been measured and know what percent body fat you are, type in your current value if you are a lean athlete with lower than average body fat.īody fat can be tested by calipher (a pliers-like instrument used to measure thickness), electrical impedance, underwater weighting or dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). If you were underweight before you became pregnant, you should choose to gain one or two pounds per week in addition to the normal weight gain during pregnancy. Your Nutrition Facts will include the additional calories and protein necessary for a healthy weight gain. 1,200 calories per day is the minimum to meet your nutrient needs. If your weight goal results in a calorie Daily Value of < 1,200 calories per day, then Your Nutrition Facts will calculate a slower rate of weight loss than you selected. If you are pregnant, your report will calculate a healthy weight gain and Your Nutrition Facts will include the additional calories and protein for your baby's development.

If you are pregnant, your report will not allow weight loss.
