Examine his calculated Body Mass Index.

Reason: BMI is an objective screening tool to help determine whether weight is in a healthy range; asking friends, comparing to peers, or judging in a mirror are subjective. (Note: BMI has limits—athletes with high muscle mass may have elevated BMI—so follow up with a healthcare provider if uncertain.)
