Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too skinny or too heavy or w/e. You’re weight is just a number and as long as you are healthy and not anorexic, then don’t worry about it. I have had doctors and people I don’t even know on the street tell me that I’m “too skinny”, but i eat like a cow! I have always just been very thin. When I was in high school, I was so self conscious about it that I started adding protein shakes and fatty foods ontop of my regular diet – which is just plain unhealthy, and my metabolism is so fast that I didn’t even gain 1 lb. Don’t worry about being underweight. Just make sure that you treat your body right- eat healthy – 3 meals a day, exercise in moderation and just be happy with who and how you are!

Miss Alice Doyle · Answer

A good weight for someone that is 5’4 should be like 105 – 110, 100 pounds is extremely close to being underweight

Miss Alice Doyle · Answer

That can depend on frame, but more than likely, yes, slightly. Look up a BMI calculator online and it will tell you where you fall on an underweight-avg weight-overweight type scale.

Miss Alice Doyle · Answer

No. I am 5’4″ and 100 pounds and I look fine. It’s about how the weight is distributed and your body type.

Miss Alice Doyle · Answer

Yes, according to the standard BMI calculator. Depending on your frame though, you may be a normal weight for your body type.

Miss Alice Doyle · Answer

Absolutely. That is a low BMI. You should consider gaining about 5-10 pounds.

Miss Alice Doyle · Answer

Technically you are underweight. But as long as you are not starving yourself or over-exercising to keep yourself that way it’s not unhealthy.

Miss Alice Doyle · Answer
