Are you really underweight if you have a small build? Or are you labeled that way by a system set up to deal with the obesity epidemic and you do not fit the current model. I was labeled as malnourished by an automated system at a cancer center and now my weight is constantly flagged as being too low. My small frame is not taken into consideration.

I'm underweight by the BMI chart. But as I mentioned, I'm that way my whole life. I have always been the "skinniest one" even though I have never restricted my caloric intake. And I have a small frame on top of that - my wrist size is ridiculously small.
