Answer #1

You have a BMI of 21.3…you are in between being underweight and overweight, which is good, because both can be/are really bad.

BMI categories:

Under 18.5-Underweight 18.5-24.9- Normal Weight 25-29.9-Overweight Above 29.9-Obese

As you can see, you’re not nearly overweight. :) Now, BMI calculations are not always right. You could be overweight because you have excess fat on your body, etc…The best thing you can do is talk to your doctor. They can help you better than we can.

To stay healthy, exercise for an hour a day several days a week, and eat your fruits/vegetables.
