Question: Am I underweight!.!.!.!?
I'm 14 years old, 5" 8' and 8st 2lbs
I used an online BMI calculator which told me I was underweight!. I eat enough, in fact I probably eat more junk than other people and I do half an hour to an hour of exercise a day but it kinda worried me!.
I dont know if the BMI was accurate or if it was biased because it was for adults etc etc!.

I'm 15 and have been struggling for a while with my weight, I am underweight!. But as long as your eating healthy and excersising, you should be perfectly fine, you just probably have a reallly high metabolism!. Even if you are underweight, just keep eating healthy, and ignore the rude remarks of others, you're fine!. And that weight will catch up with you when you get much older, more than likely!. Your only 14 there should be no worries!.!.!. your body is still developing!.! :]Www@Answer-Health@Com
You are a bit underweight!. You should be at least 8 stone 7 and even that is still on the light side!. But if you are eating enough, and eating healthily (and no, lots of junk is not healthy and will not help you gain weight!.!.!. only fat around your heart) I wouldn't worry!.
If you want to put a little on, just try and increase pasta, bread, rice, potatoes etc and see how that goes!. But you are only 14, you might yet put on weight as you get older!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
