I have a really low BMI (16.5) but I feel fine. Is there anything I should do about it?

You are probably fine if you think you are fine. If your friends/family aren't saying you look think, you probably aren't as well. The truth is BMI can be wildly inaccurate in many cases, and it isn't hard to tell if some one is unhealthily thin, so they would probably be the first to notice.

Also, BMI tends to run a little low for very short people and high for very tall people, (even not taking build into account). So if you do happen to be short/tall and have issues that may be your answer.

It's not terribly low but I'd probably stock up on carbs and what not. I mean that BMI is low but as long as your not still losing weight i wouldn't fret You should see what a doctor has to say :)

Nope. As long as you look good and eat what you want :)

My BMI is 17.5 which is underweight. I try to eat healthy food that has more calories. I try avoiding food and drinks that are fat-free, low-fat, and whatever others that had calories and fat removed.

It's all good if you're happy about that. You just have fast metabolism. You're perfect!!!
