For my fit for life class we had to find a certain amount of things about our body like our BMI, our body fat percentage, and our waist to hip ratio.. well my BMI is 18.9, my body fat % is supposedly 14-15% ish, and my wait to hip ratio is .86. I am 16 years old and weigh 110 lbs. when i look on the waist to hip ratio it says that good health zone is <.80, but i work our for an hour every day and eat very healthy, why is this saying that my hip to waist ratio is unhealthy? what is the normal ratio and weight and BMI for a sixteen year old?
