Too underweight???

i'm 13, 5 foot 4 inches and exactley 95 pounds. i eat plenty, more then i should actually. my mom told me not to worry, i just have high matabolisim (she said she use to be as small as me, until she had 3 children of course). i'm just a bit worried because the school nurse acidently bumped into me today and she said i looked way too underweight and she took me to her office and took my height and weight. she told me that it looked like i had an eating disorder (exept i have plenty of glow in my skin). i am a vegetrian but my mom makes sure i get plenty of protein and i am mostly muscle from ballet/pointe/horseback/tennis.





am i dangously underweight?!

Too underweight???
But if your parents are making sure you get the foods you need and if your Dr. is not concerned then you should be OK.maybe you need to have your counselor talk to your Mom so she can assure her you don't have an eating disorder. You might want to consider putting on a few pounds.

Your BMI score is: 16.3





A BMI score of less than 18.5 indicates you are underweight. You may wish to consult with your healthcare professional or nutritionist to discuss whether any health risks are associated with being underweight.
Reply:Just to inform you, but the BMI information this woman gave you was not for a child. Your weight is ok for your age. Report It

Reply:I wouldn't worry...as long as you're eating plenty (and the right stuff) you should be fine.
Reply:no it sounds like your naturally like that. Girl just dont worry!!!!!! love yourself for who you are!!!! i think your school nurse was just looking out for you.
Reply:ur the perfect weight for ur age and height id say
Reply:No, you are just fine. Remember, you also have a bit of growing in some other places before you're all done anyway. When I was 13, I was 5' 4" and I weighed even less than you. Now I am 9 and am the same height and weigh 120, and I haven't changed my habits... just grown up. Don't worry about it right now. If you don't gain weight in the next few years, then you can worry. Right now, just HAVE FUN :-D
Reply:no ur not sounds like the school nurse shouldn't be a nurse. she can't tell u that u have an eating disorder just because u look thin
Reply:thats kinda like my friend . shes the same weight as you and she eats more than me! i weigh 105 and im 14 . but if u r eating alot of healthy food then u should be fine
Reply:You have nothing to worry about. Your mom is right. I have a couple of friends who have a fast matabolism. There skinny too. Honestly your school nurse sounds a little crazy. I understand her in a way but...? Just keep eating the way you do and maybe take vitamins and you will be fine!
