A member asked:
I have a bmi of 16.0 and i think it's alright but apparently anything under 17 is considered anorexic. how can i get that extra 1 bmi?

Says who?: You're anorexic if you have inappropriate thoughts and behaviors about food. The bmi was not developed for individuals and shouldn't replace common sense. John cena is not "obese" and many elite runners are "underweight". Almost all men and most women want some muscle for which you can do resistance training, but the key here is staying fit ; your weight will take care of itself.
