Is being underweight bad?
Being underweight can be a symptom of malnutrition. But if you're not having any nutrition-related symptoms or chronic digestive issues, I'd guess that your current weight is what's natural for you right now as a teenager. If you are feeling hungry after eating though, I WOULD suggest eating more food, since your thinness plus hunger may be a sign that your body needs more calories to keep up with growth. However, if you feel satisfied after eating, I'd say you're probably fine. You will start to gain weight when you reach adulthood and stop growing, have a potentially less active lifestyle, have kids, etc. Another thing: Being a vegetarian, you might be missing out on fats, which meat-eaters get from eating meat. Make sure to include some fat and oil in your diet, like olive oil, nuts, butter/milk/cheese if you eat those, etc. Fats are a vital nutrient and although some people overeat them, it doesn't sound like you are in danger of that right now. Good luck. If you are really worried maybe you should talk to your doctor next time you go in for a physical. A nutritionist can help you if your doctor thinks you really need to gain weight for health.
If you are underweight does your period stop?
I have heard it stops if you loose weight, if your BMI is medically underweight, if you are unhealthily skinny or if you are malnourished. Which one of these is true? This is for the sake of curiosity and nothing else.

Does being underweight make you binge?
Yeh, in fact I read about this, when you're underweight and especially when you haven't always been, naturally, then your body is trying to get you back to your optimal weight. It would possibly stop as you get back to normal weight, but tbh, I can't tell from experience because I'm not back there either. Also, people who starved in the past (because of EDs, famines,..) are more likely to binge later on even if they have recovered/don't have to worry anymore. This happens even when they're back at a normal weight or even overweight, so it's hard to tell whether you'd stop binging as your weight gets back to normal or not. I honestly think in your case the binging would probably stop when your eating patterns get back to normal and you start eating enough for the amount you burn. I think it's been the intensive ballet training you had lately and your small calorie intake that caused your binging. So even if it's hard, increasing your calories is probably the safest way to prevent more binges. Good luck.
Does being underweight stop your boobs growing?
because genetically im meant to have big boobs (not that i want big, but a B or C cup would be nice) and i don't. my mum was a C cup when she was 13 and a D by the time she was my age, and im a measly 30A, if that. but, im also pretty underweight. not by choice, i eat till bursting point and i eat healthy foods, lots of beans, nuts, proteins, carbohydrates and a bit of meant (not much, we are almsot vegetarian). but ive always been pretty underweight, since before puberty i have barely put on any kilos, and im 16 now. also, i was wondering if being on the pill from 13 (its for pcos, also is that relevant?) could stop the hormones that would usually make my boobs grow. its just that its really getting to me lately and making me feel pretty crap. thanks
Should I stop exercising if I am underweight?
No, I do not believe you should stop exercising. Of course, consult your doctor if you are really unsure. But here is what I think: You need to be doing the right kind of exercising. That is, you should be doing weightlifting/strength training. The reason is that lifting weights will actually help you gain weight. You will be gaining good weight in the form of muscle and also will be getting stronger. On the other hand, I do not think that you should be doing any cardio. This is how most recommend you really gain muscle and strength fast. Cut out the cardio and focus on weights.You do not need to go crazy; just start going the gym about 3 days a week or so and work on getting stronger at basic compound lifts like bench press, squats, and deadlifts. Just do one of these lifts per day with some accessory work like lat pulldowns, calf exercises, bicep curls etc. Most importantly, eat well. Eat 3 solid meals a day to ensure you are getting enough calories. Only then will you actually gain weight.Just remember, the right kind of exercising will actually help you gain the weight you need.Best wishes
If you're underweight will you stop growing taller?
I'm 14, 5ft and weigh 79 lbs. I'm very active, I do competitive cheerleading so I workout pretty much everyday. I'm wondering if my weight will stop me from growing taller.
I'm 14, underweight, and workout. Should I stop working out to gain weight? I do body weight exercises.
Stopping your work out is not the solution to this problem.Here are some healthy ways to gain weight when you're underweight:Eat more frequently. When you're underweight, you may feel full faster. Eat five to six smaller meals during the day rather than two or three large meals.Choose nutrient-rich foods. As part of an overall healthy diet, choose whole-grain breads, pastas and cereals; fruits and vegetables; dairy products; lean protein sources; and nuts and seeds.Try smoothies and shakes. Don't fill up on diet soda, coffee and other drinks with few calories and little nutritional value. Instead, drink smoothies or healthy shakes made with milk and fresh or frozen juice, and sprinkle in some ground flaxseed. In some cases, a liquid meal replacement may be recommended.Watch when you drink. Some people find that drinking fluids before meals blunts their appetite. In that case, it may be better to sip higher calorie beverages along with a meal or snack. For others, drinking 30 minutes after a meal, not with it, may work.Make every bite count. Snack on nuts, peanut butter, cheese, dried fruits and avocados. Have a bedtime snack, such as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or a wrap sandwich with avocado, sliced vegetables, and lean meat or cheese.Top it off. Add extras to your dishes for more calories — such as cheese in casseroles and scrambled eggs, and fat-free dried milk in soups and stews.Have an occasional treat. Even when you're underweight, be mindful of excess sugar and fat. An occasional slice of pie with ice cream is OK. But most treats should be healthy and provide nutrients in addition to calories. Bran muffins, yogurt and granola bars are good choices.Exercise. Exercise, especially strength training, can help you gain weight by building up your muscles. Exercise may also stimulate your appetite.SOURCE: Underweight? Healthy tips for adding pounds
