Anonymous Coward User ID: 23579473 United States 10/19/2012 06:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a 5 foot 11 inch tall male weighing 155 lbs. I have more muscle than not and no bones sticking out except for my ribs, which have always stuck out a bit. Am I too skinny? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24552466 The reason I ask is because in high school I used to weigh 210 lbs. Since then I started going to the gym and eventually lost the fat. I stopped going as soon as I hit 165. So, being fat for a crucial portion of my life has made me look back and wonder if I am in fact healthier. So, is 155 lbs too skinny? Just right? Should I lose more? You are whole/complete/fine just the way you are. |

If you really want to know, take your wrist, neck, chest, waist measurements. Then find a "body fat calculator" and "BMI calculator" and plug in your stats. Then look up some height-weight charts for your frame. Ideally, you'd add around 10 pounds of muscle and 10 pounds of fat; and weigh 175ish. For reference, the average UFC fighter in the 5'10"-6' range fights at 170-185. |

It makes no sense and the entire day is used to catch back up to 164. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25573358 I wrestled at 165 in eighth grade... 5'8"ish, my body fat couldn't have been above 15%, I would guess less since cardio was a huge part of my workout schedule at the time, plus hockey. But I think I do have a very large frame, people never think I weigh as much as I actually do.. |
