PAGE 1 OF 5 — MORE THAN A NUMBER
THE TRICKY SCALE
WEIGHT IS NOT THE WHOLE STORY
When you step on a scale, it shows one number: your total weight. But that number does not tell you what your body is actually made of. Two people can weigh exactly the same yet have very different bodies inside. That is because your weight is a mix of many parts, like muscle, bone, water, and fat. To really understand your body, you need to look deeper than the scale.
⚡ DID YOU KNOW?
Muscle is more tightly packed than fat, so the same weight of muscle takes up less space in your body.
BEEP!
SAME WEIGHT
⚖️ Two people, same number
🔍 Very different bodies inside

🧩 Weight is made of many parts
💧 Muscle, bone, water, and fat

THE INGREDIENTS
BODY COMPOSITION IS THE MIX
Body composition is a fancy way of saying what your body is made of. Think of it like a recipe with different ingredients: muscle, bone, water, and fat. Instead of just the total amount, body composition looks at the ratio, which means how much of each part you have. A healthy body has a good balance of these ingredients. Everybody needs some of each part to stay alive and well.
MIX!
MUSCLE
💪 Moves you and gives strength
🔥 Burns energy even at rest
BONE
🦴 The sturdy frame that holds you up
🛡️ Protects your heart and brain
FAT
🟡 Stores energy for later
🌡️ Keeps you warm and cushioned
PAGE 3 OF 5 — EVERY PART MATTERS
FAT IS A FRIEND
🔋 Fat is stored energy, not the enemy
🧠 It cushions and protects organs
MUSCLE IS ACTIVE
🏃 Muscle helps you move and play
💧 Your body is also mostly water
A HEALTHY BALANCE
YOU NEED EVERY PART
Here is an important truth: fat is not bad, and muscle is not the only good part. Your body needs all of its ingredients to work. Fat stores energy, keeps you warm, and protects your organs. Bone gives you a strong frame. Muscle lets you move. Even water is a huge part of you. Being healthy is not about getting rid of one part. It is about keeping a good, balanced mix.
⚡ DID YOU KNOW?
More than half of your whole body is made of water. It fills your cells, your blood, and even your brain.
BALANCE!

GROW STRONG TISSUE
AIM FOR STRENGTH, NOT A NUMBER
Instead of worrying about the number on a scale, it is healthier to focus on building strong tissue. That means growing strong muscles and sturdy bones that help you do everything you love. When you play, run, and eat good food, you build healthy muscle and strengthen your bones. This is called functional strength, which is the strength you actually use in real life, like climbing, lifting, and playing for a long time.
BUILD!
MOVE A LOT
🏃 Active play builds strong muscle
🤸 Climbing and jumping help bones
EAT WELL
🥚 Protein helps build muscle
🥛 Calcium makes bones sturdy
REST AND GROW
😴 Sleep lets tissue repair
📈 Strength builds over time

THE BIG IDEA
STRONG AND HEALTHY WINS
Now you know a powerful fact: the number on a scale does not measure how healthy you are. What really matters is your body composition, the balanced mix of muscle, bone, water, and fat. Every single part has an important job. So instead of chasing a number, aim to feel strong, eat good food, move every day, and rest well. Bodies come in many shapes and sizes, and a healthy, happy body is always the goal.
STRONG!
FEEL GREAT
💪 Judge health by how strong you feel
🌈 Every body shape can be healthy
REMEMBER
⚖️ KEY FACTS
Body composition is the ratio of muscle, bone, water, and fat. A balanced mix matters far more than the total number on a scale.
🧩 Your weight is made of many parts
🟡 Fat, bone, and muscle all have jobs
💪 Aim for functional strength, not a number
