I'm too skinny.

[Rawr.Michelle]

I don't have an eating problem, it's just that I'm 14 and I weight 82 pounds.
I'm pretty sure that's not normal and I'm pretty sure me being a vegetarian does not help either.
Do you guys think my weight is normal... Or way to low for my age?

[ylllek nivyer]

well, it really depends on how tall you are.

[Rawr.Michelle]

Im 5 feet.

[Rutherford The Brave]

Not really sure, but I think you should try to gain some weight, just for precaution. Your skinny but a little bit too skinny.

[2D]

Well you have a healthy BMI. (I checked) It's low but still healthy. I'm underweight for my age and height but I've been to the doctors many times and they always say I'm fine. Just don't lose anymore weight and you'll be fine I think. It couldn't hurt to gain weight either.

[thrust of trust]

do some exercise too. so some of the weight gained is a little muscle. don't wanna get fat when you eat more

[KaelKaos]

If you're concerned you should see your doctor. He/She can help you gain weight in a healthy way, if it's what you need to do. Or he/she could also say you're fine.82 pounds is skinny, but it doesn't sound like a problem.

[ShatteredWings]

If you're only 5'0, 80something pounds isn't overly thin. Thin, yes. If you're trying to be that thin, you should stop. but if you're just naturally petite, that's not unhealthy

[Charleigh]

at least you can see your underweight. i am, just eat high sugar foods like me =)

[Rawr.Michelle]

Thank you guys .
And yes I do Exercise I do gymnastics.

if you wanna get fat, eat lots of peanut butter
skip breakfast, everything you eat afterwards gets stored as fat

now if you want to gain weight in a HEALTHY way, eat lots of protein and carbs
especially at dinner. metabolism is at its slowest at night. consume food with lots of calories in small volumes, like chocolate milkshakes...in the morning. instead of 3 heavy meals in a day, try eating 5 mini but balanced meals a day.

No, that is a stupid idea.

Out of all meals, you should never skip breakfast, because it's the most important meal of the day.

[OstrichAficionado]

No, that is a stupid idea.

yeah, sorry :/
that was bad advise

[Kitty Purry]

Som women are just that weigh my. Gf now is 100 pounds and 5"6 she is not aneroxic looking it really has to do with your genetics, her mom is skinny after 4 kids so it depends

[wisse2012]

i have a friens who is 16 she weighs 100 pounds

[Rawr.Michelle]

Yeah that is a bad idea.
I always eat a mini bowl of cereal.
My dad thinks I'm only vegetarian to lose weight when that's not the case at all.

[Watchfulness]

My younger cousin only consumed McDonalds
and he turned from 100 to 135!

Of course, what certain food he has ordered is the
real factor and eating other kinds might have yielded different results.

i had the same problem. i eat a lot and i mean a LOT and i'm really skinny. i started going to the gym and i have gained some muscle. although i'm still skinny i look much better =) so, you must eat healthy food (not macdonalds) and you have to gain some muscle

and looks like you are healthy, i wasn't.

(i was 95 pounds and 5'6)

[OnceMoreWithFeeling]

dont worry you also seem to have a very high matabolism and snice you are only 5 foot you are generaly going to weight less. I turn 14 2 mounths ago and I weigh 97 but I am also 5' 7'' I also eat 3 meals a day and a lot its just in your genitics!

[munchausen]

You're not too bad, I used to starve myself and at one point my BMI was 14. So my doctor recommended I get my BMI up to 20 otherwise I was in serious danger of permanent health problems. I keep my BMI at 20 but I still check my weight every day to see if there's that little bit more I can scrape off the top.
