Would you consider me skinny or normal weight?

Question:

I am 5'5.5" and weigh 131 lbs. I've been on a protein diet all summer after being extremely thin (as low as 98 lbs). I lift too so the extra weight didn't turn to fat. So would you still consider my current weight still skinny or normal? It's not a big concern by any means, I'm just curious to see what others think...

Answers:
Are you a guy or a girl?

Okay, it partly depends on your age and your frame. I'm guessing your frame is relatively small and you're under 30. If so, you are probably on the thin side of normal. If your frame is medium and you're over 30, you could probably gain10 - 15 lbs.

Keep drinking the protein drinks and working out to bulk up. You'll pack on extra weight with age.

For a guy, you are still pretty skinny. I think just ten more pounds and you should be good

for a guys this is very normal u are at an average weight right now.

No, sounds alright... skinny, but you might just be built like that...

normal.depends on your age too though i think

I would not consider you skinny with you height. I think that it is good that you are lifting to keep toned up.

As you dont state your age, its hard to say if your an adolescent, teenager or old goat. so, if you dont feel weak or look emancipated, then your ok.

not sure of your age, but checking your BMI here - http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/av.h... it says you are in the normal weight range (though the lower side of normal.) i would certainly say you are skinny from those stats

at 98 pounds you were (obviously) quite underweight

take care
