Answers:

here's how you determine your ideal body weight: at 5 feet the ideal body weight is 100 lbs. For every inch, just add 5 lbs. You're sayin that your height is 5"3. your ideal body weight should at least be 115 lbs.
Ideal body weight is how much you're supposed to weigh with that height. it differs in every person. If you're eating right, but is still skinny, then dont worry too much. you just might have a fast metabolism. unless of course you have a reason to believe that you have a medical problem or an eating disorder. if you do, you should see a doctor asap.
