Too skinny?

jprs · Feb 15th 2008, 4:30pm

Hi, I'm 16 years old. I'm about 6 foot 2 tall, weigh only about 60kg and have a 32" waist.

Sometimes I feel like I'm too skinny, I eat plenty and get plenty of exercise and played rugby up until this year and still do a few weights every other evening or so.

Are my proportions normal for my age and is it normal to feel this way?

Thanks.

132 pounds at 6'2" :eek:
that seems really skinny when i try to imagine it...but then again I'm not sure.
Denim's a pro at these kinds of things haha, he can probably tell you better XD

A lot of guys taller are skinny, like with women.
The longer someone is the skinnier often
Its probably just your build up.

If you were younger I'd say that you would grow more into your tall frame... but since you're sixteen I think you're just a tall skinny one

I don't know if there is much you can do about it.

Your unhealthy.

Im 6 foot 3 and i was 70kg (154lb) and i was borderline healthy.

I bulked up to 80kg ( 176lb ) in 3 months. you can do it easily. Eat 5 meals a day and go to the gym 3 times a week. Your way to thin.

Well even if he was smaller in height, that wuld be thin still.

In comparison to the average weight for your height, you would be considered underweight. However, unless you are experiencing any health issues as a result of this, I would not be overly concerned. As long as you are confident with your appearance, that is the main thing. You also have to remember that you are only 16 years old and your body hasn't finished developing or growing yet. Chances are you may fill out naturally anyway.

With the above being said, if you have specific goals (such as wanting to gain lean body mass), then by all means let me know and I will be more than happy to assist you with creating an exercise and nutrition program.

yeah this could be helpful, but after a month there's still no changes, maybe you could use beer....

or any alcoholic beverages, just moderate...

What are you talking about, if you eat more then your body needs you will have to gain weight. Its all math.

im in the same boat as you. Im 16, 6'1 and weigh about 125. I'm in shape, i do ultimate frisbee and volleyball but I can't seem to put meat on my bones. i eat just as much as my friends do but it doesnt help. I hate my body and get shit for being skinny everyday from everbody. I don't know what to do
