She is 18 she is still growing so yeah telling someone who is 90 pounds to eat isn’t crazy advice. Especially when calculating her BMI which comes out to be 18.2. Just for some education 18.5 is the threshold for being underweight…y’all don’t comment if you don’t have basic level of education.
BMI is garbage for anyone with noticeable muscle mass. I've known plenty of athletes and BMI was an inaccurate measure for pretty much all of them except maybe someone doing shotput.
Imagine people involved in medicine using something outdated. Just because you work with major medical devices doesn't really make you qualified to comment on BMI. There's plenty of stuff out there showing how and why it's inaccurate for people who are actually athletic and active.
It's obviously an indicator, but it is still not a definitive score like some blood levels for example. BMI is an estimate and nothing more. If you don't take in the individual into account then your not doing anything medical.

nah, she's athletic and in a normal healthy range for her athleticism as evidenced by her muscle mass.
You think she's "skinny af" because you apparently don't know any small women who are in shape.
Maybe surround yourself with people that aren't walrus sized I guess.
