A member asked:

How to know if i'm chubby or fat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nose or belly: Hi. Walk into a wall. What got there first, your nose or your belly? Or you could ask your doctor. We use a measure called body mass index (BMI), which has criteria for underweight, normal, overweight, & obese. Using BMI may spare a bump on your nose or belly! ;-)
