I agree with gddrdld; with a BMI of 16, you are at risk for malnutrition. I HIGHLY doubt your body fat % is high. Your ideal body weight, based on your height is 108-121# for a small frame, (or approximately 110#) which is only an estimate and varies based on genetics and body composition. I also recommend www.healthcastle.com for easy to understand, sound nutritional advice from Registered Dietitians. A referral to a Dietitian would might be covered under your insurance since your BMI is so low, so I would talk to your MD. |

What is your body fat percentage? Do other members of your family have a high body fat percentage? |
