I’m underweight... Should I stop working out?

Question

I am 103 lbs and 5’2”. According to my doctor, I’m underweight! I worry that if I keep burning off my calories every day, that I could have health problems. What should I do?

Answer

You aren’t underweight. And no working out is healthy. Just consume more calories if you want to gain weight.
Also lift weights to gain muscle... which in turn means weight.

Answer

Continue to work out it’s good for you but make sure you’re eating adequately. Plenty of healthy calories. If needed supplement with a shake or two through the day. Like use the shakes as snacks between meals.

Answer

Protein, shakes with high calories, high fats...eat through out the day. Try to aim for 6 small meals a day. Don’t burn more calories than you take in, you’ll be fine!

Answer

Lift weights and do strength training too! You’ll gain muscle mass and pounds but minimize fat. Try the SWEAT app.

By BMI, you're at the lowest end of normal range. I wouldn't worry about it, just make sure you're eating when you're hungry etc.
