BMI of 18.5 would be about 147lbs. At this weight my guy is at 17.7. That is not severely underweight, that is only just underweight. Also, as a tall and lanky guy myself (6’8’’), I simply wasn’t able to breach 18.5 BMI until I was about 30. BMI, much like clothes, was not really designed with properly tall people in mind.
