| I'm 5'9 and weigh 122 pounds. Is that a good weight to be for someone my height? People have told me that it's a good weight but others say that I should atleast be 125-130! Is it a good weight to be for my height or should I gain atleast like 5 more pounds. I'm not planning on doing any modeling of any sort. By the way I'm 16! |

Hi! According to shape.com's BMI (Body mass indicator) tool, you are "underweight", especially since your body is still growing a lot at the age of 16! You might want to consider amping up the calories, on healthy foods of course  . Good luck and stay healthy!(Here's a link to the tool, if you're interested: http://www.shape.com/fitness_tools/bmi) |

| You are a little underweight - you can check the National Institute of Health's BMI calculator at http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ to confirm this. Don't worry too much about your weight at your age, though. You could stand to put on a few pounds, but please don't obsess about it.I have to say, it's really refreshing to see an underweight teenager who's not asking "OMG DO I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT?!?!1111"... I can't even count the number of questions like that I've seen lately.Just be proud of who you are!!! |

Everyone's body type is different, and if you're only 16 chances are you haven't hit your adult weight OR metabolism yet-- or you might just be one of those people who are naturally thin!You can check your BMI (body mass index) on the web, and that can tell you if you're at a good place or not.As long as you eat a balanced diet and exercise adequately I wouldn't worry.Even better: get real advice  next time you have a physical with your physician ask her/him about your weight! |

| Well if you would like to gain weight, drink Boost. It's supposed to help you gain weight. Plus it doesnt make you gain a lot of weight, probably 5lbs depending how often you drink it and for how long. I used to have to drink it when I was your age. I was 5'1 at 95lbs. Plus it tastes really good! |
