I used a BMI calculator and it said I'm underweight...?!


Question: I used a BMI calculator and it said I'm underweight...?
So I'm 13, 5'1, and 95 pounds. I'm naturally that weight since I have a pretty fast metabolism. I eat about 1500 calories a day and exercise for about an hour 4 times a week.


I came across a BMI calculator and I was bored so I checked it out. I punched in all my information and it said I was underweight. I think my BMI was 17.9, maybe? I'm not sure.

Should I be worried? I have a perfectly healthy diet, so I'm thinking it's just that my metabolism is fast. :b

You're fine, make sure you use a child's calculator, not an adults. Adults are for over 18
