Indeed this so prevalent among the youth. I just pity those who go overboard their ideal weight because of eating disorders. Metabolism is quick but there is just too much intake of unhealthy food. I recommend this to be watched by high school students. This is appropriate to them.

To me putting names on all of this is so not the point. If you have eating issues however mild or severe you have a problem and not living life to the full - it doesn't matter if we're not on deaths door we need somekind of support without all the labels depending on what health isues you present with!!!

The most common way I know of is with calipers, but you need someone trained how to use them properly to get an accurate result. It measures the skinfolds and gives you your body density, which can then be used to calculate your body fat percentage. ([4.570 ÷ body density] - 4.142) x 100 = body fat percentage. There's plenty of info online. Most gyms would have a trainer that could help you calculate your body fat if you were really interested.
