Any unused energy in food, whether it comes from carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids, is stored in the body as fat. An extra 3,500 Calories of energy results in the storage of almost half a kilogram  1 pound  of stored body fat. People who consistently consume more food energy then they need may become obese. Obesity occurs when the body mass index is 30.0 kg/m 2 or greater. Body mass index  BMI  is an estimate of the fat content of the body. It is calculated by dividing a persons weight  in kilograms  by the square of the persons height  in meters . Obesity increases the risk of health problems such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
