I'm a 17 year old girl, weigh 47 kilos and am 167 cm tall. Body fat percentage calculator say that I'm between 10-12% (calculator results vary), and I eat around 900-1000 calories a day.
Is this healthy? Everyone tells me I'm too thin and that I should eat more, but I don't feel like I'm underweight. What do you think?

You are 17 years old so your body is still growing and developing. If everybody are saying that you are to thin that doesn't mean that they know what is the best for you. Normal intake of calories per day is 1200 but if your body is functional with 1000 that means that it doesn't need more. And in a few years you are probably get few kilos and your weight is going to be normal as well.
Are you involved in any type of physical activity? It would be good if you are. First of all that is great thing because it makes you feel better and that is something you can do with your friends so you are improving your social life and your body and your mind. And afterwards your appetite will be bigger and you will eat more but this is not going to become fat because of the exercising. Consider my advice and let us know if anything has changed.
