Am I skinny?

Question

I'm 14 years old, 5'6 and I weigh 110 pounds. I've been that weight for about 6 months now, sometimes going up to 115-120, but always sooner or later dripping down to 110 without even trying to diet. I always eat a big breakfast, a big lunch, and a big dinner, all well balanced. I exercise quite a bit. But my friends, they never eat breakfast or lunch, yet they are all gaining weight and quite chubby. (5'6-5'11, 130-190 lbs, about same age) Is this weight/status normal for me?

Answer 1

Everybody is created differently. Some are created small (like me), medium and big. I know people who are really small like me, and they get bigger as the years go on. They are blessed with not having to worry about theire weight. That is probably the same with you. You will gain weight at the proper time.

Answer 2

People who skip meals, actually tend to eat a lot more later to make up for the lost meals, which would explain why your friends are getting "quite chubby." I wouldn't worry about your weight. As long as you are eating well and excercising, which you are, then it seems to me that you are quite healthy. You are only 14 years old as well, which means that your body is still growing. So, no, I don't think you are too skinny.

Answer 3

Yes its fine. Since u exercise a lot it burns what u eat. U may also have a high metabolism. But its normal.

Answer 4

I'm fifteen for a moment. Caught in between ten and twenty and I'm just dreaming, counting the ways to where you are

Answer 5
