What the words meanশব্দগুলোর মানে

Weight divided by height squared. It cannot tell muscle from fat and says nothing about where the fat is, which is the part that matters. It is here because a doctor has given you one.

Waist divided by height, in the same units. Under 0.5 is the mark to aim for. It needs one tape measure, makes no assumption about population, and predicts risk better than BMI does.

What your body costs doing nothing at all: breathing, a heartbeat, a brain, a temperature. It is the largest part of what you burn in a day, and no target here goes below it.

Everything you burn in a day: the resting burn, plus moving, plus digesting what you ate. After a fortnight of logs this tool stops estimating it and starts measuring it from your own trend.

Walking, standing, carrying, stairs, fidgeting. It varies by hundreds of calories a day between two people of the same size, and it quietly falls during a diet, which is most of what a stall is.

The body's store of carbohydrate, about 400 to 500 grams, and each gram is held with roughly three grams of water. Empty it and one and a half to two kilos leave in a week, and none of it is fat.

The state where the body runs largely on fat, having very little carbohydrate to run on. Deeper ketosis is not faster fat loss: the deficit is what decides that.

As weight falls, the daily burn falls further than the lost weight alone explains, often by ten to fifteen percent. It is normal, it is not damage, and it is why a target set in week one is wrong by week ten.

Everything you are made of that is not fat: muscle, bone, organs, water. FFMI is that divided by height squared, and it is the number that tells somebody who lifts that their BMI is lying about them.

A smoothed line through your weighings. A single reading is real weight plus a kilo or two of water, gut contents and salt, so nothing in this tool ever reacts to one.

Eating less than you burn. Roughly 7700 kcal is a kilogram of body tissue, which is right for fat and wrong for water, and that is why the arithmetic is done against the trend rather than the scale.

The share of your haemoglobin that has sugar stuck to it. Because a red blood cell lives about three months, it is an average of your blood sugar over that time rather than a reading of this morning, which is exactly the timescale this tool works on.

Total carbohydrate with the fibre taken off, because fibre is carbohydrate your body cannot break down. It is the number a keto limit is counted in, and it is not on most labels in either country, so it is worked out rather than read.

Starch that has been cooked and then cooled, in rice or in potatoes, and behaves partly like fibre instead of like sugar. It is the one thing on this list that matters more here than in most places, because cooled rice is an ordinary meal in Bangladesh.

The roughly two weeks between ovulation and a period. Water retention rises through it, so the scale can climb one to two kilograms with no change in fat at all, and then drop it in a day. A trend read across a whole cycle is the only honest reading.
