Is my Height & weight right for my age?!


Question: Is my Height & weight right for my age.?
Ok I am 19 and a guy. I am almost touching 6 feet and weigh in at a 154 pounds.

I dont go to gym but I go for running and jogging whenever I get time. College schedule makes it impossible to me to go for jogging everyday. I feel very energetic and have no real health problems.

So, do you think its the right height & weight for my age.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You could try calculating your BMI. Let's say you are 6 feet. Since you are 154 lbs, then your BMI is about 20.9.
BMI categories are
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
So you're fine. :)Health Question & Answer

Hi, I calculated your BMI from the figures you gave (yes i'm great!) and it's 20.5. That means your weight is ideal for your height!
Hope I helped, stay healthy! xx
