Hi, My name is Taylor, I am a 14 year old boy. And I feel kinda self-consious about my weight. It seems every boy in my grade is either fit or at least chubby, So I feel kinda displaced. Anyways I weigh 110 even, And I am around 5'7. So can anyone give me a healthy diet & a good way to work out so I can be at a normal weight. And be healthy because I really don't eat that well.
Thanks For Everything!
-Taylor :)

You are normal. You are only 14, your body is still growing and changing. Most of the time guys get their height before they fill out all over. But, If you're that worried about it start lifting weights and working out more.

Well Taylor, according to your Body Mass Index (BMI), you are underweight. However, many boys have a growth spurt spurt in height before their weight catches up. You also have a higher metabolism in your teen years so you may be hungry all the time but not gaining a lot. I have seen and heard of lots of boys who appear very thin for a time especially after a growth spurt. Teen years are an important time of growth. You should eat when you are hungry, and don't be surprised if you want to eat a lot. you can ask your family doctor about a healthy diet plan. You need lots of protein. There are also many important vitamins and minerals you need to fill up on. Calcium is essential for strong bones. When all is said and done, each person is different. I myself am underweight according to my BMI. I know that I don't eat all that well. I do eat when I am hungry. I am generally healthy. I work as a nurse.
