Am i fat??


Question:
i'm 15 and i'm 5'7'' and i weight 145. apparently i look alot thinner then that because nobody believes me when i tell them that. they all think i weigh more around 125. i have a lot of muscle..but that can explain 20 pounds can it? i have kinda wide hips too..but i dont have much of a stumach. what do u guys thinkk?

Answers:
You say you have a lot of muscle so you're an active person.

Muscle mass, for the same weight, takes three times less space than fat reserve, so a 5'7", 145lbs inactive person with a lot of fat reserve would be much bigger than a 5'7", 145lbs active person with a lot of muscle mass.

In your case, a 5'7" person could either weigh 125lbs with a base weight of 115lbs and 10lbs of fat reserve or weigh 145lbs with a base weight of 115lbs and 30lbs of muscle mass. Both person will have the same measurements, since the 10lbs of fat reserve of the first person will take as much space as the 30lbs of muscle mass of the second person. Of course, it would better to be the second person (like you), firm, in shape and eating whatever they want.
