Can someone just be really skinny?

Can someone be really skinny but not anorexic? I mean like really underweight far below the average bmi…

Answer #1

I am 5’7” I did weigh 105 lbs. Stress kept it off me. Now I am working out and got rid of some of that stress and I am up to 140 now I want to go back down to at least 135 lol it isn’t the pounds to me , it is the tone. So YES! you can be, but with the popularity of todays bone and skin look.. if it is someone you care about , keep your eyes open. Also depending on where they live and the conditions, you can get stomach worms that will keep your weight way down, even if you do eat like a horse

Answer #2

It depends, you can be considered underweight and still not be anorexic. I have a friend whose BMI is around 16.8 and I know she’s not anorexic (mainly because she makes me get up in the middle of the night to get her food) however there is a limit to this and after a certain point im pretty sure it just isnt possible. A BMI of 15 is considered to be starvation by the WHO and I’m pretty sure it just isnt possible to be that skinny naturally, unless maybe you’re sick…

Answer #3

yes, I have always been thin and eat a lot…but I am always doing some activity to burn calories, and dont even realize it…if you are super active, and eat a lot, you might be really skinny just because you are constantly burning the calories that you take in…everyone has always thought I was too skinny…or maybe anorexic…but I eat a lot…if you have a friend who is really skinny that you worry about, dont go and assume anything, she’ll feel defensive, and insulted…

Answer #4

well of course! everyone is built different. there are people who are super skinny that eat anything they want and just stay the same weight. there are usually other physical signs if a person has an eating disorder besides just being underweight.

Answer #5

yes,
