I'm still fat but I'm still active!?

I'm very active I run a mile everyday and I'm always hanging out with my friends and I play Lacrosse! But I'm like 20 pounds over weight! Plus I eat very small meals because I don't wanna gain any MORE weight.Why am I still fat?

You could be in starvation mode. When you say that you eat small meals, it makes me wonder if you are getting enough calories. If you're active, you need MORE calories to sustain your energy.

It could also be muscle mass. I suggest investing in a scale that caculates body fat as well. You'll be surprised as to how muscular you really are.
