whats the healthy weight for 5'1?

Question

im 5'1 right now and weigh about 90 pounds. is that healthy?
its not like i dont eat, i just dont gain weight. and its weird since sometimes im he**a skinny, or have a little belly roll. so is that average? (im 15 btw)

Answer 1

you are a little low on weight. most guys do not like women that are really skinny, we like a woman that has some meat. for 5'1" i would say that 110 - 120 would be about right. you do not want to get a eating disorder.

Answer 2

My doctor told me that a healthy young woman at 5' you should weigh 100 pounds and for every inch over 5' add 10 pounds. So at 5'1 you should weigh around 110 pounds, 5'2 weigh 120 pounds etc. Eat healthy and exercise. You are probably a bit underweight and a bit of a belly roll on the tummy is *NORMAL*. You could easily add some pounds (in a healthy way) by weight training and eating more lean protein. Keep smiling!

Answer 3

It's very thin, but as you are 15, I think it is ok. An adult woman of 5ft1 shouldn't really weigh less than 98lb unless they have a very small frame. But it's really your body fat percentage that is important and as long as yours is 15% or more, I'm sure you are perfectly fine and healthy. If it's less than 15%, then you need be careful and if it is less than 10%, then gain some weight girl! HTH : )

Answer 4

If your 15, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Unless you are a recovering anorexic, don't worry. I weighed 90lbs when I was 15 and I'm healthy. I'm about 5'3ish now and 100lbs and my doctor says not to worry that I'm a good weight because my metabolism is just like yours. I eat a lot but I don't gain much. Just give yourself time to gain weight, it'll come. If you're really concerned about it, go to a doctor.
