Is it healthy if I eat only 500 calories a day?!
Question: 500 calories a day is my regular diet. I am 13, weigh 90 lbs, and I also am 5ft 2 in height-wise. Am I healthy? Or am I underweight? I was just wondering because I people sometimes call me annorexic. If I'm not healthy...PLEASE HELP ME!!!

NO it is not healthy-you can find your bmi by 730(weight in pounds) divided by your height in inches-and then your height in inches again.
(730w /h)/h or 730w/h/h
730 x 90= 65700
5'2=62 inches
so 65700/62=1059.68(i rounded)
then you divide 1059.68/62=17.09
17.09=sry hun, your underweight. by not by much.
Biggest suggestion:you should try to eat more, like 1500 calories more. (total around 2000) and maybe exercise a little to be strong and healthy. =D
You might also want to get an eating plan etc. from your doctor
Hope I could help!
18.4 or under is underweight
18.5-24.9 is healthy weight
25-29.9 is overweight
over 30 is obese
500 calories?!?!?!?!?!?!!??
noo sweetie
u need about 2,000 a day
now after reading this go eat ..lol
You know you are not eating enough. No one on here needs to tell you.
You need at least 1000 calories. calories gives you a good amount of energy and t is good for your health.
check with your doctor
no! for a person your height and weight, 2000 calories is necessary for your diet. you are underweight and please dont crash diet like this it will only get worse
Just effing eat! You're 13! Quit worrying about your weight!
just eat more meat, trust me, ull gain weight like crazy lol
your supposed to have 2000 if my memory serves me correctly
No. And yes, you are underweight.
you would have to be eating the whole day non-stop
every human in the world must have 912,500 calories a year multiply ur 500 to number days of every year... if its less then u need more.. good luck
yes you are about 25 pounds underweight and you need to intake about 1,500 calories a day at least if you are still growing.
very unhealthy, please for the love of God eat something!!!
u shud b eating like 3x that
go eat a tub of lard
NOW
Wow, pretty close to anorexic. You are probably in pretty bad shape internally. Start eating kiddo.
most definitely not healthy. you dont need to diet and you need to up your calories to about 2000 a day
no. absolutly not. thats incredibly unsafe and you might have some kid of eating disorder
500 calories is extremely unhealthy. you're two inches shorter than me and weigh 30 pounds less than me so you're definitely underweight.
you are a little skinny, but when you're 13 500 calories a day is not enough!! with all that puberty and stuff, your body naturally needs more food to grow and you seem pretty short, growing wouldn't be al that bad
Well, your not annorexic but, I wouldn't consider you fat.To go on such a strict diet like that is pretty unhealthy for a girl your age.I would bring the calorie income alittle higher and if you really feel the need you could talk to your doctor.
500 calories is not very healthy, i c y they call you annorexic
hahaha what!!!!!! 500 calories!?! you sound TOO skinny..god and you're only 13! ...........eat a damn donut. or 5.
NOOOOOOO!
You should not be eating less than 1000 calories a day and even that is pushing it. You are doing serious damage to yourself by eating so little on a regular basis, you may not see the damage now but if it get worse you could be in some serious trouble. Get off the computer right now and eat something!
no i believe this is not healthy, esp cus you are 13. you are still a growing child, and people calling you "anorexic" are signs that you are not getting the nutrition you need. heck, a hamburger meal is a lil more than 500 cals. i suggest you try at least 1200. if you think you are "fat" please think the other way. you are not fat. even if you were, you could still be healthy. please take health in consideration. don't let beauty overcome your health. you are perfectly normal, but if you continue to eat this way, you are not normal and you will be unhealthy. please let me tell you, if you are on a diet, stop. you don't need to lose weight, if you think people are going to judge you because you are "fat", well let them be. you are who you are and i dont' think you should be influenced by other people's opinion. esp the media and how they portray the celebs. seriously, there are many people out there who look beyond the skin. its all about your personality.
No, you're not healthy. At 13 you shouldn't be overly concerned with calories. You should be eating somewhere around 1800, and regularly exercising (playing ball, dancing, gymnastics...whatever.) You could permanently damage your body by being so restrictive, and not develop in ways a normal, healthy 13 year old girl should. You should talk to your mom about this, and if she can't/won't help you, maybe talk to your doctor or school nurse, health/gym teacher.
Your weight will improve as you grow more, just ensure you are getting enough vitamins and nutrients to maintain your health. As for 500 caloric intake, that is just plain insufficient and unhealthy. Your caloric intake should coincide with your activity level and 500 is not enough even if you plan to be in bed all day. About 1,500 should be enough for you. Please start taking care of yourself...
YOU ARE UNDERWEIGHT!!!

GOOD LUCK :)
You seem to have an eating disorder, and since you're so young, you're probably also damaging your STILL DEVELOPING body. You are 13 freaking years old, you do not need to diet. For your age and height, healthy weight range is 87-123 lbs. Don't try to lose any more weight and eat a better diet!!!!
you're healthy, half of my friends are 13 they weight roughly 90 pounds too
