I'm pretty skinny, yeah. However, my BMI is 19.7, which is apparently healthy (I'm supposed to be between 63kg to 86kg), while yours is 16.7, roughly 5kg underweight.

I have hypercholesterolemia so I'd rather be underweight than overweight. My fat intake is like 40g a day most days

Ah, that makes sense. Yeah, I have a friend who has Crohn’s disease. Not the same thing, but he cannot put on weight and has been underweight his whole life. He’s always been active and healthy though, so I think the BMI’s preferred weights are slightly overstated.

Well they are just assuming that everything else about a person is normal i guess. I've never really had a doctor bring up my weight negatively.
