Appropriate weight for 17 year old male
Hi! I am a 174/5cm tall male, and I weigh 70kg, and I am turning 17 in 16 days. What weight should I be, because sometimes I feel quite fat but I mostly look quite thin and everyone tells me I look thin but I used to be thinner. Thanks.

Hi there. As you will be actively growing at the moment, you're weight and body composition will be changing. You can use this NHS guide to assess you're weight, but having just done this for you it shows that you are at a healthy weight.
