I've always thought the low boundary for BMI was crazy low, but you do see people that are pretty healthy but skinny at the lower end.
Imagine pro cyclist climber but without the big quads.I feel that on the BMI scale being slightly overweight has to be less problematic than being slightly underweight.

Does anyone else think that the range for recommended BMI seems to be pretty low?
I'm 5'10"and not skinny, skinny but definitely not that well built (37" chest, skinny wrists etc)
At 74kg I'm towards the higher end of my 'healthy range'
If I was 16kg lighter I'd apparently still be in the healthy range but I'm certain I'd be emaciated.
I wonder if this is problematic?
