If you have bigger bones, is it possible to be skinny?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bigger version: "skinny" means loss of under skin (subcutaneous) fat, usually with low muscle mass. Big bones without much muscle and fat on them is still skinny-just a bigger version-and perhaps just as unhealthy. You can be too skinny.
