: hello
: well how skinny is too skinny????
For men, it should be about 2.5 lbs per inch... so someone 6'2 should
weigh around 185 on average
For women it's about 2.0 lbs per inch, so someone 5'5 should weigh
around 130 on average.
These are definitions for an average body type - you may not conform to these.
I would say that if you are more than 15 lbs over or under either one, you
are over or underweight.
