    ~~At 5’8" a BMI of 17 has you at 90 pounds. Being “accustomed” to being dangerously thin just means you’re ignoring the warnign signs that your body is eating itself alive. ~~

    Ok that’s on me for trusting random charts in a duck duck go search.

      Your math is so off, its around 120 pounds

      Your numbers would mean BMI of like 14 💀

      Appreciate the effort I had to do to switch my brain to imperial units because you didn’t want to google it in 5 seconds

      At 5’8" (1.72m) with a BMI of 17, you would weigh 110.6lb (50.2kg), not 90lb (40.8kg)

      I don’t know what BMI is dangerous or not, this is just what weight someone would actually be with that height and BMI.

      math

      BMI is weight/(height)², with weight in kg and height in meters. Let’s solve for the weight:

      weight/(1.72)² = 17

      weight = 17 * (1.72)²

      weight = 17 * 2.9584

      weight = 50.2928kg ≈ 110.6lb
