Am I fat?

I'm 5'1 and weigh 110 lbs (50kg). Is that too fat?

Don't be ridiculous.
I'm 5.6" and weigh around 55kg. I'm below average I'd say. You might be slightly on the bigger side. But not fat.

You can't deduce that from weight alone, as that doesn't take into consideration how much muscle mass you may have :smile:

You have a BMI of around 20, so in the normal range.

Overweight? No.

Healthy? I couldn't tell you.

Men and women have different average BMI etc..and from your sign I'm assuming your a guy which means your average BMI would be different from mine. So you can't really compare yours with mine. Plus, you said you're 5'6 and I'm only 5'1,so what might be average for you, might not be average for me. :smile:

For example if your fit. You might be average weight however you still may be unhealthy due to lack of exercise etc.
