Is 120lbs fat for an 11 year old?!


Question: Is 120lbs fat for an 11 year old?
ok i have this friend. She thinks she is fat. She is 4 feet and 11 inches and she weighs 120. Is she fat? (fyi she wants comments that are nice not mean ones)

Answers:

According to the BMI (body mass index) number from the site, she is normal weight, but borderline overweight. She is still growing and at this age lots of things in her body are changing.
BMI doesn't tell your percentage of body fat. It is normal to be a little squishy. If she is concerned about her health or weight, just taking soda out of her diet might help. Exercise and balanced meals!!

Put her weight and height into a bmi converter. (just type in bmi in google and put in the numbers) It will tell you her body mass index and I believe around 20 is a healthy one. Another way to tell....look at her....is she chubby or fat? If so then she's fat if not then she's not fat. She shouldnt be worrying TOO much about her weight unless it's a health risk.



it depends if she has a lot of muscle. if she does, she absolutely fine. if shes not, she might be a bit chubby

No she just needs to tone her muscles to give her a healthy fit look
