I am 5'6" and 110lbs, am i under or overweight?

Answer 1

I would say you're average. You're in the middle. But you're definately not over weight. Nice avatar by the way

Answer 2

In general, that's a little bit underweight, even if you have a very light bone structure (small wrists).

Someone 5'6" would need to weigh at least 115 lbs. to be considered at a healthy weight in terms of the Body Mass Index (BMI).

I guess for a younger woman, 110 lbs could be considered reasonably ok. But for a boy over about 12 or a woman in her 20s or later, it's probably a safe bet you could stand to gain some weight.

Answer 5

If you are a male, you are very underweight. A healthy woman who is 5'6" would weigh at least 120 lb. As men generally weigh more than women (men generally have more mass), you are quite underweight and must have a rather pinched and unhealthy look.

Even if you were a long-distance runner, you should weigh more than that.
