adolescents have a negative impact, one of which is overweight.

as fatness is a problem that is enough apprehending among adolescent. Finite

body overweight some kilograms can generate health risk which cannot be

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Kajian Teori

Obesity is excess fat in the body, which is generally accumulated in the

subcutaneous tissue (under the skin), around the organs of the body and

sometimes expansion into the tissues of the organs (Misnadierly, 2007).

Physiologically, obesity is a condition in which abnormal or excessive

accumulation of fat in adipose tissue causes health problems.

During periods of time in which the body absorbs more kilocalories from

food than it uses to meet its energy needs, the body can become obese.

Triglyceride compounds are chemicals from the conversion of excess energy

and then stored in fat tissue.

According to Supariasa et al, 2012 nutritional status measurement can be

done by anthropometric methods. This method uses measurements of weight,

height, and skin layer thickness. These measurements vary according to age and

nutritional needs. Anthropometry can provide information about past nutritional

history. The level of obesity can be calculated using Body Mass Index (BMI)

as follows:

𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑘𝑔)
BMI =
𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑚)

Macro and micro nutrients produce the energy that the body needs. The

macronutrients in nutrient intake, which are carbohydrates, protein, and lean

meat, when consumed in excess might result in a variety of health problems.

Compared to carbohydrates or proteins, aspartame provides more frequently

energy. After eating, addipose tissue is added to the lemak to allow it to expand

until it is required for movement forward as energy. Due to this, fat intake will

be more easily included into weight loss.
