Shawn S	Way too skinny. You should be the size of an adult at 17. being 5 foot 7 you should be around 130 pounds.. So your like 50 pounds under weight.. I would say that not a healthy weight and if you thought it was you wouldn't be on here asking.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

phenom	thats pretty skinny but as you get in your 20's youll fill out so dont worry about it as long as your eating 3 meal a day at least and excercising your in good health and I wouldnt worry Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

laura f	increase calories gradually and gain a bit remember men need something to grab who wants to be in bed with the crip keeper you may think your being healthy with exercise and cutting out junk, but it can have a reverse effect, our body needs to indulge in days off, a fattening snack every once in a while. always remember to relax, don't work too hard gain some weight and you'll be dandy hunny bun Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Major Tom	too skinny. 1200 calories is a very low calorie diet. regular people=2000 calories a day, athletes(which you would be one)=2500 calories a day. 87lbs is the proper weight if you are 5 ft tall. you are way too skinny. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mister SuperDuperSmartyPants	Being a female of your height, a typical healthy diet for you would consist of about 2000 calories a day. Considering you are an active person, and a teenager, a number somewhat higher than that might be more appropriate. I personally am a fan of the healthy, slender, body type (as opposed to the big rear and chest that seems to be coming back into fashion), but even I think that you would be more attractive at 115 to 125 pounds. Take good care of that precious body of yours, you only get one per life. Eat plenty of healthy foods (avoid large amounts of saturated fats and refined sweeteners like sugar and corn syrup), but allow yourself the occasional guilty pleasure. Life is supposed to be fun, and you deserve the best you can give yourself! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Big Jordan	84lbs?!?!?! That is just a little too skinny for my taste. For that height you probably seem anorexic.. (no offense) But i think u would look good between the 115 - 1125+ See your doctor or work out (building muscle)... Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Iconoclast	You should see a doctor. I think it's possible for you to be healthy at your weight, but it seems unlikely. This is a question for a professional. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jiovonnig	You may not see it yourself but from a health standpoint you are definitely underweight. At your height and age you should weigh in at between 110-125 lbs. depending on your build and bone size.remember muscle weighs more than fat. you may need both! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Val-Dizzle	thats way skinny, you need to take in a lot more calories. you should go to a dietition. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rachel Green	accoding to your BMI you are too skinny, judging by your "numbers" you probably are a little under weight. If you're active at your age you should be takingin at least 1500-2000 calories a day, you're young and have a high metabolism so that 1200 /day is not cutting it. It's quite unhealthy really. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jonnygirl	Way too skinny, you are really underweight for your height, I mean come on 84 lbs. That is really skinny, If you want to gain weight( you should weigh at least 115 lbs) without eating bad what you do is when you sit down for a regular meal, 3x a day, drink a slimfast with it, I know that sounds weird but they are made to replace a meal so they will give you extra calories that are not empty(like with junk food) You should be taking in at least 2,000 calories a day, I don't know how you function as a cheerleader without passing out. Please don't let magazines make you feel uncertain about yourself. Be healthy :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

J Balla	ya... just like everyone else, your too skinny. your anorexic. its ok. by gf went to rehab and she was 5'3'' 90 lbs. so to think that your 5'7'' and your only 84 lbs... you may think your not, but you are. i doubt your even consuming 1200 calories, because that doesnt get you that skinny. i dont know where you are in your life, or whether your ready to recover, but just know that your going to have to get better before its too late. take care of yourself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Liz	If I saw you I would say, she looks ill. But hey, we're all different. I say the bottom line is get a physical, talk to a Dr. and if he say's your healthy and labs come back ok, then hey your a skinny girl. And I woud say, dont worry about it if it doesnt bother you, it shouldnt matter what other people think. And when you get in your mid 20's and 30's youll probably gain just enough weight to still be lean and looking awsome for your age. Rock On!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Regan C	buddy this is coming from an ex-anoerxic guy, you calorie intake is way too low and if you keep on with this your heart could quit i would up your calorie intake to 2,200 a day and lift weights along with upping your calories and protien you'll gain muscle weight instead of fat weight. A reccomended daily calorie is 2000. I was close to death and i was about your same weight and height. If you want to talk to me about it i can give you my e-mail and i would be glad to help you find help. If you are anoerxic i know as much as you dont want to it is more healthy for you to eat then to not eat. Ps. for lifting do it 3 times a week not every day and i am 16 years old (not some creepy predator) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
