Quantitative measurements of weight, BMI, for the typical person

An annual DEXA scan is a more comprehensive measurement than BMI – but you certainly want to monitor weight.

A DEXA is a moving x-ray. So you lay down on a bed and it takes maybe 10 minutes and this little, very low power x-ray goes over your body. It measures body fat percentage, bone mineral density, visceral fat, appendicular & lean mass metrics; visually, the definition of your abs is not a bad way to assess your fat visually
