What is is 120 pounds skinny?

Whether 120 pounds is considered "skinny" depends on a few factors, primarily a person's height, body%20frame, and muscle%20mass.

• Height: 120 pounds might be considered underweight for someone who is 5'10" tall, but it could be a healthy weight for someone who is 5'2".

• Body Frame: People with smaller frames generally carry weight differently than those with larger frames. Someone with a small frame may look slimmer at 120 pounds than someone with a large frame.

• Muscle Mass: Muscle weighs more than fat. A person with a higher percentage of muscle may weigh 120 pounds and appear toned and fit, while someone with a lower muscle percentage may weigh the same but have a different body composition.

Generally speaking, a Body%20Mass%20Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy weight range. You can calculate your BMI to get a better idea of whether 120 pounds is a healthy weight for your height. A BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight.
