Answer 1

O my god! Your not even fat!!!!! Since you are a boy, even if you were a girl, that wouldn't even be fat, since you are very tall, ignore those assholes.
Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 22.3, placing the BMI-for-age at the 78th percentile for boys aged 14 years 10 months. This teen has a healthy weight.
What does this mean?
BMI is calculated using your child’s weight and height and is then used to find the corresponding BMI-for-age percentile for your child’s age and sex.

BMI-for-age percentile shows how your child’s weight compares to that of other children of the same age and sex. For example, a BMI-for-age percentile of 65% means that the child’s weight is greater than that of 65% of other children of the same age and sex.

Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 22.3, placing the BMI-for-age at the 78th percentile for boys aged 14 years 10 months. This teen has a healthy weight.

Maintaining a healthy weight throughout childhood and adolescence may reduce the risk of becoming overweight or obese as an adult.


What should you do?
Regardless of the current BMI-for-age category, help your child or teen develop healthy weight habits and keep track of BMI-for-age.

Practice healthy weight habits
Encourage children and teens to practice healthy weight habits by:

Eating healthy foods
Participating in physical activity on most (preferably all) days of the week
Limiting television viewing

Tips to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Activity for Children and Teens.

Keep track of BMI-for-age
Check BMI-for-age annually, or more often if recommended by the child’s healthcare provider. Tracking growth patterns over time can help you make sure your child is achieving or maintaining a healthy weight. A single BMI-for-age calculation is not enough to evaluate long-term weight status because height and weight change with growth.

Answer 2

Kids at school make fun of you because they are jealous. Using your weight as an excuse. They are trying to bring you down and make you feel in inferior. Don't let them get to you.
For you weighing 160 lbs and height 5 foot 11 inches, I don't consider that fat.
A good hard exercise will keep you in shape, you can eat anything you want as long as you eat proper food. It's better than having a restrictive list (ones you can eat and ones you can't eat).
In the long run, keeping yourself in shape will make you feel better. The cost, you don't have to depend expensive medicines.
I am 52 years old, 5 foot 7 inches, weighing 160 pounds. Most of my working life is riding my bicycle to and from work. That's all i did. I could go 8 miles to a mall and back, never feel too tired.

well, that may not be the best weight for your height..umm depends if you are muscular..cuz i've been told muscle weighs more than fat. you know what you should do? just work out at LEAST 30 minutes everyday, lift some weights, tone ur body, eat healthy, and there should be no problems. try to cut down on the sweets and unnecessary junk food.

Answer 4

That sounds like the perfect weight. You just may not have defined muscles or big enough muscles for people to notice and say that you aren't fat. Just work on toning up.
