Fat? - HELP!!! :( -?

Question

I'm 13, 5'4" and weigh 139 pounds, size 9 jeans. I don't eat bread that often and I don't eat junk anymore at all. I work out everyday, either running or walking and 60 DDR - dance dance revolution - songs, each burning a little bit more than 4 calories, a day. I also swim quite a bit. And I was wondering if I would be considered fat, and if so what else can I do to not be fat anymore?

Answer 1

The number on the scales does only that - show a number.
what really matters is your muscle mass and body fat percentage.
if you want to lose some fat (lower your body fat percentage) follow this:
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
