I dont consider myself super skinny but I can feel my ribs through my shirt like each bone when I am just sitting normally. I am 5'6" and around 105 lbs. Is this normal? If I need to gain weight, how can I do so without feeling fat?

The Weight chart for small frame woman show that a person at 5' 6" should weigh between 123 and 136 pounds. The chart also shows that Anorexia for that height is between 105 and 116 pounds. So if you feel fat when you are only 85 percent of what you should weigh, then you may wish to consider talking to your doctor and possibly to someone who specializes in eating disorders.

I think that even if you are fat, you will sort of be able to feel you ribs. I am pretty skinny(5'11'' 130-135 lbs.) and I can feel my ribs right now as I am sitting down. I don't think that it is uncommon but you could gain a little weight(I am tryin to as well). If you are a male, you could lift weights and eat/drink protein. To answer your question, it is normal.

Your ideal weight is around 120. So, you are a little slim. In order to gain weight without feeling fat, increase your calorie intake (protein) and weight train so that all of the weight you gain turns to muscle, not fat!

well if your round about 6 foot than average weight is 75 kg but f your like 13-16 years old, than 60 kg is fine. At that weight seeing your ribs is perfectly normal hope this helped :)

Umm idk how to gain weight without feeling fat but im only 4'10" and i was 94 pounds once and felt too skinny. At your height a normal weight would be over 120 pounds according to this chart. Do you worry a lot about gettting fat? You might have anorexia and need to see a doctor

I just realised I can too. Haha. And I'm fine, so I bet you are. I am also around same weight and height as you. Don't worry. As long as you are leading a healthy life and eating correctly, that will be your natural weight.

It's okay to be able to feel them, but if you can see them in the mirror then you need to gain some weight.
