Am I underweight or just fine?!


Question:

Am I underweight or just fine?

I'm 13, 5' 7.5" and 106 pounds?


Answers:

A good way to tell is by your BMI (body mass index). It is a formula that uses your height and weight. I calculated yours using the link below, and I got 16.4. You can refer to the chart below to see where your BMI falls. It says you are underweight. But honestly, I wouldn't worry just yet, as long as you are eating healthily. You may have not completely gone through puberty yet, and it is likely that you will start to fill out soon.

BMI Categories:

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
