So, I know there are probably a lot of threads over weight. But, I'm not going to say I'm fat. . .


I'm 18, 5'0 and weigh about 91-93lbs. Am I under weight over or average? Because For my height I would think I was over but then for my age I would think I am under.

So I'm not really sure on the part on should I gain or stay. Help please

It's not too drastic one way or the other.  You can always work on toning and just keeping healthy, that's the best way to go about things.

You're slightly underweight. Make it to about 99 and you'd be just fine. you BMI is about 17, where 18 is normal.

Looking at your pictures, you don't look underweight to me, but you're definitely not overweight.

You're on the lower end of average. It probably wouldn't hurt to gain some.

You're underweight
at 5' you should be 100 lbs
if you were to gain like 5 lbs then you'd be average.
It really all depends on the specific person.
I'm underweight but I have been my entire life so it's not unhealthy for me, or atleast that's what my doctor said.

18.2 bmi, and 18.5 is the bottom of normal, so you are slightly underweight by BMI standards
