Health experts, would you say I'm at a healthy weight?!

Answer 1

yes, your body looks fine. 105 and 5'6 is very good. many people in america have gained weight over the last couple of years so most people are considered underweight im 5'4 5'5 and 100 pounds and im considered underweight but, my mom is skinny too and she dosnt have a concern. As long as you have a healthy diet, exercise, and are happy with your body you should be fine!

Answer 2

i'm afraid which you're no longer eating sufficient for the activities which you're doing, whether you do no longer think of you're doing too lots. An apple purely has 60-one hundred energy and in case you purely have a small part of what your mom makes for dinner, that ought to purely be 2 hundred-4 hundred energy. For an person women human beings that's making an attempt to drop some pounds, they propose a minimum of 1200-1500 energy, yet you're nevertheless becoming and want greater then that. you incredibly might desire to flow to a doctor or a nutritionist, a third party that's impartial and a professional interior the part of eating and well-being to get you and your mom on an identical internet site.

Answer 3

I'm not a health expert but...
An anorexic is neurotic about food. They will pick at it, refuse to look at, separate it, constantly point out the number of calories in each bite. They also use techniques to 'punish' them selves for eating, such as exercising to the point of exhaustion and self inflicted pain such as cutting. Most anorexics are clinically depressed and have very few friends or a social life. They also have deep self loathing and will hint about how much they hate every aspect of themselves.

Anorexia is a mental disorder. Unless you have any of the signs above, your mom has no need to worry.

Answer 4

i think you look healthy and don't afraid to gain a little, since most moms are overly cautious. When she takes you to the docs, Im sure the doctor will point out you just have a fast metabolism. Unless you may have an eating disorder. But the way you put it, I doubt that!

Answer 5

5'6 and 105 lbs is a little light but it really depends on how you got to that weight and how you stay at that weight.

if you intentionally restrict your calories just to be light on the scale when you don't need to then over time it "may" turn into something that you can't control.

Answer 6

You are technically underweight but you don't look it. I'm guessing you probably just don't have a lot of muscle on you. Try weight training and eating more protein to gain some muscle and that will increase your weight a bit.

Answer 7

105 lbs at 5' 6" sounds like a pretty low weight but you don't look at all anorexic. You have a BMI of 16.9 however and anything under 18.5 is considered underweight.

Answer 8

Well actually, for your height you might be a little under weight, but you don't look anorexic in your pictures, and I guess it depends on how old you are too.

Answer 9

usually you'd see rib bones on women who suffer from anorexia.

what does she think you should weigh? I would download the body fat\ weight chart. I'm not sure what your target weight should be for your height. I'm sure you can find in online.
