Am I underweight?!


Question:

Am I underweight?

Hi I don't know if I'm underweight or not. I am 4 '10' and I only weigh 70 pounds!


Answers:

Yes, you are. Here is a BMI calculator: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/... It's basically a standard among doctors. Yours is 14.6 whereas anything uder 18.5 is underweight. Although, everybody is different, and that just might be the way your body works... However, it might not be a very healthy situation. Bring it up to your doctor at the next visit.
