Know if you need to lose weight
Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.
You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.

Below 18.5 Underweight
Between 18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight

You could be your exact right weight right now - meaning the weight you FEEL the best at. Are you big-boned? If so, you could weigh more and not be overweight. Don't worry about it too much though. If you're only 13 you are still growing, so a diet would be a very bad idea. Just don't snack too much on candy bars and soda - they are full of useless calories. Take up a sport (volleyball?) and you'll be able to eat more. If you are hungry between meals, have fruit juice and granola bars.

That weight is really good. You're probably toned and skinny. Probably the normal weight is between 110-115 or lower.

For sandwich-lovers, use spinach or swiss chard leaves as an alternative to a wrap, skip the piece of cheese, and load up on the veggies.

Yes. It all depends on your genetics too and how your parents grew. I am 19, 5'3 and 98lbs. The doctors have never told me I am underweight because I am healthy and I eat. I think at your age that might be normal?

In the mood for the hot meal? Make a large pot of veggie bean soups, divide into two-cup containers, and store inside freezer. Before bed, place a container inside the fridge, then grab it before heading out the door each morning.
