What should a 16 year old girls BMI be?

Hey I would like to know what a 16 year old girls BMI should be? Cause Im loosing weight so I know that its not what it should be, but if I know what it should be it might help me.

At the beginning of this school year it was a 29.7 (it may have changed but thats what it was)

Oh and I am 5’4 (or 64 3/4 inches) And about 170 (keep in mind Im loosing weight, my end weight will probably be around 120-130 )

So please help.

Answer #1

Well… I’m 17 and mines 27.99… But, tbh, the BMI scale isn’t accurate… because your muscle weighs more than fat… so, if you work out a lot, it’ll be really wrong…

and, mine says that I’m in the ‘overweight’ section, seeing as I’m only 5’4/5’’… but I love my body… after a bit of convincing myself :/

and, if you’re losing weight, it wont go down that much, seeing as you’re still the same height.

Answer #2

It wil go down when you loose weight cause it measures the amount of fat in your body, and yeah muscle is heavier, I took that into consideration, and a few other things.

But thank you, and thats good you love your body…everyone should… I dont so Im getting to to where I will =]
