How do i stop feeling guilty for eating?

Im 16 and im about 130 pounds, which im told is normal, though I feel as if I should drop a few pounds. My self esteem is so low and im so self conscious that I feel guilty after eating, even if its something really healthy or fat-free. Is this normal?...

If not...any advice on what I should do?

I dont know its normal or not but I think you must know what to eat and when to eat.

it depends on your height, not your age.

check your bmi.

maybe you're over eating. if you're uncomfortable with the way you look then do something about it.

How to GAIN or LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain or lose your weight overnight so don't expect to gain or lose if overnight. Plus, if trying to lose weight, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.

I'm a lot like that too. I'm 13 and 108 lbs. I'm a dancer and I also hate eating in front of a lot of people. a few weeks ago, my dance studio had a nutrition seminar during lunch and the teachers were watching us eat the whole time and I felt sooo guilty.
