Food consumption has increased over time. Annual per capita consumption of cheese was 4 pounds (1.8 kg) in 1909; 32 pounds (15 kg) in 2000; the average person consumed 389 grams (13.7 oz) of carbohydrates daily in 1970; 490 grams (17 oz) in 2000; 41 pounds (19 kg) of fats and oils in 1909; 79 pounds (36 kg) in 2000.
For example, a 152.4 cm (5 ft 0 in) tall person at an ideal body weight of 48 kg (106 lb) gives a normal BMI of 20.74 and CI of 13.6, while a 200 cm (6 ft 7 in) tall person with a weight of 100 kg (220 lb) gives a BMI of 24.84, very close to an overweight BMI of 25, and a CI of 12.4, very close to a normal CI of 12.

[36] [37] Suggested amounts vary from 1.2 to 1.4 g/kg for those doing endurance exercise to as much as 1.6-1.8 g/kg for strength exercise [37] [39] and up to 2.0 g/kg/day for older people, [42] while a proposed maximum daily protein intake would be approximately 25% of energy requirements i.e. approximately 2 to 2.5 g/kg. [36] However, many ...
Papadopoulos and Brennan (2015) recently found that across many reviewed studies of weight loss treatment-seeking adults, [92] relationships emerged between experiencing weight stigma and both BMI and difficulty losing weight. However the findings are somewhat mixed.
A male tiger shot in Nepal weighed 320 kg (710 lb) and measured 328 cm (10 ft 9 in) 'over the curves'. [25] The heaviest wild tiger was possibly a male killed in 1967 in the foothills of the Himalayas that measured 323 cm (127 in) between pegs and 338 cm (133 in) over curves; it weighed 388.7 kg (857 lb) after eating a buffalo calf.
[3] [63] In the United States, excess body weight is associated with the development of many types of cancer and is a factor in 14–20% of cancer deaths. [63] A UK study including data on over 5 million people showed higher body mass index to be related to at least 10 types of cancer and responsible for around 12,000 cases each year in that ...
