Answers:
those online BMI calculators aren't entirely accurate because they can't determine bone structure or body composition!. you could be big boned or have more muscle tissue!. both would add weight, but not make you look fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
if you have a lot of muscle, that could be why!. muscle weighs more than fat!. but some people (me, for example) --- I'm 5'1" and I weigh 140, but I've never been called fat!. I think of myself as a brick sometimes, aahah!. that I can't explain --- maybe just some teen awkwardness thing!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
