Here's a fun website:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18770328

Enter your age, height and weight, and it will tell you how fat you are. Your BMI - body mass index.

And other useful tidbits, like these:

You have more body fat than 96% of males aged 45-59 in the world.

and,

Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same body fat as you, it would add 108,542,000 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population.

and of course,

You're most like someone from Tonga.

Tonga being the second fattest nation on the earth.
