AM i Fat and if i am tell me why?

Question

i weigh 170 lbs im 14 and im 5'10 i play football and my body fat is 30%

Answer 1

30%body fat would make you very overweight. It s not healthy.  

Answer 2

You might have a bit of a belly from eating when you aren't hungry but you also have a lot of muscle from football workouts.

Answer 3

not. Try to keep it.

Maybe you should eat more vegetables and fruits, and shouldn't eat beef or pork. Eat only chicken and turkey or fish with salads. Don't eat potatoes, bread, and cakes-cookies-etc.

Answer 4

Not really.

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

Nope your not fat. Please stop worring.

Answer 7

You could stand to lose some weight.

If you were 25 yrs old, your ideal weight would be 135-145 with 20-24% body fat. So at 14, you are considered a bit over weight.  

Answer 8

Your BMI is only 24.4 so you are still within the normal range. 25 and up is considered overweight.

You need to stop worrying.  

Answer 9

No your not fat

Answer 10

maybe you should lose a little wait and go on a diet for like a week or something  

Answer 11

30% is somewhat high, healthy range is generally 8-19%, although that may be different for children

Answer 14

yes. im 5'11 and 143lbs.

about 8%body fat.

but dude u can lose it. just cut back and you'll drop 10 EASY

Answer 15

For a male, it's borderline so don't let the body fat percentage get any higher.

Answer 16

well your body fat percentage will tell you if youre fat or not. but you are only 14 and will grow into your body. just continue to work hard, eat right and practice harder.

Answer 17

hmm... probably not for your figure, since you play football and you're pretty tall. yeah, so don't worry about it. (:

Answer 18

you aren't really fat. but the average weight for a 14 year old is 115 to 120 pounds. you could probably lose a few pounds and football will help out with that. call yourself big-boned, not fat. fat is such a negative word.

Answer 19

30 percent is too high.

Answer 20

Your BMI (body mass index) is 24. Its desirable. Relax

Answer 21

your weight and height are quite proportional and you're athletic since you play football, so that's real good :) When it comes to fat percentage, for grown men it should be less than 25%, but you're 14 so keep things the way they are, eat healthy with lots of veggies and fiber, and you'll be fine. Your hormones, like testosterone which is made up of fat, are not well balanced yet and it's better not to mess with things now.
