  100 to 105 pounds would probably place you in the middle (50 percentile) of your age/height group. You may be a little on the heavy side but I wouldn’t worry any about it as you will probably grow into it.

Don’t trust BMI results. They are designed for Adults from 18 to 65 years of age.

I would be more concerned with getting plenty of good exercise which will tone your body replacing some fat with muscle. It might not make you lose much weight but you will be happier with your appearance.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

No one who is in the 120s is fat. Unless you’re under four feet. You’re lucky. I’m 130 pounds exactly…
