In high school, he played sports and his family prepared healthy meals, but his freshman and sophomore years have proven to be very different with late nights of school work, hanging out with friends playing poker, and eating lots of take-out food, snacking on pizza, and drinking soda. Harold, who is 5' 10", has gained 18 pounds and now weighs 182 pounds.
Harold has never tried to lose weight before and decides to talk to a personal trainer at the gym to get help. During Harold's consultation, the personal trainer calculates his BMI, determines his ideal body weight, and measures his body fat content using skinfold calipers.
