Why am I sooo underweight?? Help!!!!?!


Question: Why am I sooo underweight!?!? Help!!!!!?
13 yrs old

68 lbs

dont tell me to see a doctor because i know that i dont have 2!. well my whole family is really skinny so it is just genetics but it gets annoying! i am like the food monster literally i eat so much crap and dont gain anything! i mean maybe its just because i am so physically active with all the sports i play!.

so my questions r: is it still unhealthy even though they r just genetics!?, and isnt it true that in life the better athletes r always the skinny ones!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

They say, underweight is just as bad as being overweight!.
If you're athletic & skinny, you should be muscular!.
(& you can be skinny but flabby(no muscle))
If your not then there's something wrong with you!.
Tapeworm maybe!?
Ask a doctor!.
I would probably think you have an eating disorder!.
Eat more protein&carbs, that's how football players, wrestlers, etc gain weight!.

It could be genetics but it could be something else!. It could be a thyroid problem so yeah go see a doctor just to be on the safe side!. The people at yahoo answers can't tell you why you're so skinny!. And no, a lot of athletes aren't skin and bones, they have muscle and a healthy amount of body fat!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

heeey hunn!.

okay!.
first of all!.
calm down :)
your all worried!.

yes you are VERY underweight!. You should weigh from 84-124 pounds!.

But if you eat like a 'food monster' lol then don't worry about it!. As long as you don't starve yourself!. Just be as heathy as you can be!. Your fine!. Maybe go and have somekind of extra big mac!? lol not sure!.
goood luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it's genetics, some people have something called a "fast metabolism" means people can eat as much as they want but won't get any fatter!. Your lucky!. I'm like that (only yours sounds really bad), but I choose not to eat, that's why I'm 15 and 5" weighing at 90 lbs!.

Your REALLy skinny!. let's just hope you don't look anorexic Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could have a lot to do with genetics and high metabolism, especially if you're active!. Just make sure you get enough protein!.
It isn't true that the best athletes are always skinny!. Health has more to do with BMI (body mass index), and everyone's target BMI is different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

u either are having mental issues with your weight that are making you think you're supposed to be a twig so you over excercise and undereat!.!.!. so eat more cuz no thats not healthy u could do serious damage to your body that way

or you're a growing teen and your body is just going through changes!.!.every teen has really high metabolism!.!.so they can eat more without gaining weight and they have more energy to burnWww@Answer-Health@Com

you just have a reallly fast metabolism, which isn't a horrible thing!.
it's not like you can help it, so as long as you eat right,
then there's nothing wrong!.

it's not like you starve yourself or anything!. plus you're pretty young,
when you get older, you gain more weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

FAST metabolism, but maybe you should stop being active for a m=bit just so you gain weight, not tell you too completely stop but that is WAY too skinny even if your family is naturally skinny!. Dear gosh you got to gain weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no its not im the same way just a little shorter there is nothing wrong with that people call me anarexic all the time but im proud of myself because they are all in the 100 lbs while i can still fit in to jeans and stuff without having to squeezeWww@Answer-Health@Com

You can be healthy and it can be genetics!. That does not mean that you should not see a doctor --- even though you are well!. If you have an HMO !.!.!.!.!. there may be a program or something that can help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
