Are you underweight? This site is designed for people trying to prevent excess weight gain, lose weight, or maintain weight loss. Being underweight also is a health risk.

Children and adolescents: The advice in the Weight Management and Calories section is for adults. Because children and adolescents are growing, their BMI is plotted on growth charts for sex and age. You can learn more about BMIs for children and adolescents, and determine your child's weight status using the BMI calculator. If your child is overweight or obese, consult a health care provider to determine appropriate weight management for him or her.
