Am I too skinny for my age?

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

  You have a BMI of 16.3.

BMI is equal to or less than 18.5 (Underweight)

A lean BMI can indicate that your weight maybe too low. You should consult your physician to determine if you should gain weight, as low body mass can decrease your body’s immune system, which could lead to ilness such as disappearance of periods (women), bone loss, malnutrition and other conditions. The lower your BMI the greater these risks become.   bmi calculator:

Your BMI is 16.3 - a healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 25

You definitely don’t need to lose weight. In fact, you need to gain some weight to ensure you’re healthy. So go ahead and pig out!

Don’t agree? Blame the government standards we based this test on!

You’re a little bit under weight, but if that’s how you’re built and can’t gain any weight, then I guess you’re fine because that means your body wants to stay the way it is.

well for a 13 year old… you sure are quite tall…well taller than me at least =P… but too skinny… I don’t think so… but just to be sure - if you’re worried, I think your family doctor knows you best!

omg you have got to be kidding me!!! you should be SOOO lucky that your skinny and you dont have to worry about getting fat like me… :( anyway dont worry about being skinny cus I bet you look just fine

you’re on the thin side but not by too much. I’d keep eating but go for a run because it’s unhealthy if you dont get any exercise and eat a lot

damn thats skinny.

You could use like 10 pounds, but your not too much under weight.

Im 22 and 85 pounds and am 5 foot tall, I know how it feels to seem too skinny. I cant put weight on either. Id like to be an even 100 pounds
