I'm scheduled for a routine physical soon. What kinds of health/weight related questions should I be asking at this appointment? Can the doctor test my body fat for me? I don't go to the doctor often :blushing: so thanks for the help.

They go more on BMI than anything. If they do check it is probably with a bioelectrical impedance meter. Which is not a very accurate, it gives you a general idea. What kind of questions do you have. I always look at my triglyceride levels and my thyroid levels-thyroid probs run in my fam. Plus I look at my blood pressure. I just like to see all my number in normal range. I also have my iron checked, because another factor that runs in the family.0
