Am i fat? 5'9ish 160 pounds?

is that about right? should i be weighing less than that? just wondering?!?!?!
Answer:
That is about right, it is a good weight
no. your fine. if anytihng, you should weight like 10-15 pounds less.
You should weight less.
yes
Your BMI is 23.6
What does it all mean?BMIWeight StatusBelow
18.5 Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 Normal
25.0 - 29.9Overweight
30.0 and AboveObeseA BMI of less than 19 indicates you are underweight. A BMI between 20 and 24 is usually considered normal. A person with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered overweight, and a person with a BMI of 30 or above is considered obese. Obesity is associated with an increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases.I found this searching for BMI on the yahoo search bar
Depends on your bone structure and built. If you are slim built, you are overweight but if you are stocky build, you are fine. If you want more information, you can click on the website link below.
there are weight scales that you can check. i cant say if you are fat, as i cant see you. everyone is different, and you might have a thick bone structure. im 5'3, so 160 would be fat for me. i believe that you should be around 145, or so.that site that the guy put in was good, but there are different averages for men and women
If you're somewhat muscular you might be pretty close to dead on fine.
If you're an individual that exercises, watches what they eat, and feels healthy, you're probably ok.
Alot of an individual's reasonable size has to depend on genetics as well; i've learned that with my genetic predisposition I'm never going to be a size 2 but I can be a healthy, happy individual a bit larger than that.
Your best way to evaluate if your current weight is appropriate would be to have a body-fat analysis done. If you are in school you can ask your athletic trainer to do this; if you are a member of a gym they should also have the appropriate equipment to determine this. There are 6' 230lb individuals who are completely healthy and 5' 2'' 100lb individuals who are completely unhealthy. If you are truly concerned, get in touch with an athletic trainer, exercise physiologist or nutritionist that can help you determine how to live the healthiest life.
Any specific questions, feel free to email me, I've got quite a bit of training on the subject.
Don't worry about it. Don't concentrate on losing weight, but more on staying in shape. Just exercise regularly, eat sensibly and you'll be fine. I hope my advice helps. Later.
