It's really dangerous to be underweight or it's ok? I'm 5'5 and 105 lbs?

It's usually pretty dangerous to be underweight.. That's a little light in my opinion, I think you can stand to gain another 20-30 pounds and still be slim. Usually when you're underweight your body will function a bit weirdly because it's not getting enough nutrients. It also makes everything about you generally weaker, from your bones to your muscles. HOWEVER everyone's body is different. If you're 105 and eating regularly and exercising fine, then there's nothing wrong at all.

I ask because I lost a lot of pounds nowadays and I didn't change anything, I was 120 lbs before and now I'm 105 lbs

[jesshkah]

Hmm, if you used to be there I would encourage you to try and get back there, but in a healthy way, not like just eat junk food. Eat healthy, work out a bit to build muscle, and you should be fine.

[Asker]

Thank you, I work out too :)

It depends how underweight - I'd guess you're fine. I've always been underweight too because I'm A) built in such a way that I don't put on weight easily, B) have very high metabolism, literally always hungry, C) extremely active, I'm a dancer, and D) I eat very healthy most of the time. Underweight or overweight doesn't necessarily equate unhealthy. Everyone's body is different. As long as you're eating enough and eating well, you're taking care of yourself and your fine.

I don't eat a lot, honestly only lunch and diner

[moosette134]

do you eat until you're satisfied and/or full? As long as you can HONESTLY, 100% tell yourself that you are feeding your body what it needs to perform to the rest of your ability, you're good. Eating disorders are not a joke. I can't answer everything for you, obviously. I don't know you. But as long as you're sure that you're eating enough, then you're fine, underweight or not.

[Asker]

For lunch I don't eat enough cause I don't have time but for diner, I think I eat enough. The majority of time I have pain in stomach so I stop eating when it hurt

[moosette134]

I know what it's like to not have time. Basically, all I can suggest is to have granola bars or something with you for those days when you don't have time to eat a real meal. Eat breakfast, even if its small and quick. And keep eating well for dinner. Even if your weight doesn't change, you'll be fine. It's less about what's on the scale and more about giving yourself the nutrition it needs to function.

[Asker]

I don't eat granola or stuff like that cause it'll give me cellulite and I don't want to have it.
I try to always eat healthy food. I can't eat breakfast cause I sleep too much and plus I'm so clumsy the morning that I break a lot of things

[moosette134]

Try yogurt or something. Nothing to prepare and it's still healthy. I'm a big fan of Stonyfield Creek's Superfruit flavor - best yogurt ever. Fruit is a good option too. Bananas or something else you don't need to wash or cut up.

[Asker]

Honestly I don't feel like eating the morning, I throw up easily and feel sick all day long after

It's not great for you to be underweight but if you're not malnourished you'll be ok

[Asker]

I eat a lot It's just I always lost weight easily and now I'm really underweight my bmi Is only 17.5 that's low

[NYkid27]

Honestly it would help to see a picture of you because everyone carries weight differently so you might be fine even though your bmi is low

[GingerGuy]

It is, but I'm not sure you are. If you're really concerned, see a doctor.

[Asker]

I hate doctor the last time he said to my father that he think I was anorexic so

[helloitsmethere]

Hey, I am underweight too but if it isn't causing any sickness or if you don't have any problems or if you have a family history of being underwight/born that way then you are fine. My doctor told me I might be underweight but there aren't any sickness related to my weight so I am okay. Plus I have a family history of fast metabolisms.

[Asker]

my family is overweight, only my grandmother has a good weight cause she do a lot of sport

[nothingspecial15]

You sound like you're fine, although it's probably not in your best interest to lose any weight.

[Iron_Man]

Thats ok that weight your not going to end up in the hospital just eat more

[Asker]

ok, thank you :)

[Iron_Man]

Two inches taller than me and you weigh 15 lbs less than me? You need to gain more than 15 lbs. Being underweight isn't good for body.

[Asker]

[Asker]
