Answer 2

You're probably OK. Remember that weight is just a number. If you have a high ratio of muscle tissue to fat tissue you will weigh more. So if you are truly physically fit, then it would not be surprising if you have weight numbers that don't really make sense.

Besides, who is anyone to tell you how you should look? Is an elephant overweight or is that just the way an elephant is supposed to look? You never hear of any "fat" animal going on a diet!

Not to mention, at age 15 your body has not stopped stretching, so it's a little early to start making determinations about being overweight or underweight. Just exercise regularly and watch what you eat. Not worth eating a few big macs when you can get as much enjoyment out of a subway footlong and have better nutrition.

Answer 3

To figure out your Body Mass Index you divide your weight in kg by the square of your height in meters.Since you weigh 80 kg and your height is 1.5 meters your BMI equals 80/2.25 = about 21.3 kg/m2 which is within the healthy range (18.5 to 25).
