The next time you get a blood test, however, you may want to make sure your iron is at a healthy level. Underweight people often become anemic.

Your BMI = 17.2 According to the government:
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
So... you're "underweight"... again... according to the government.
I think examining your caloric intake and exercise regime would be important weight management tools as well...

Eat lots of Peanut Butter and then don't move from your couch for about two months.

You're probably just fine. BMI isn't a fool-proof indicator of health. It doesn't take into account variances in build, metabolism, activity levels, and age. If you feel fine and have plenty of energy I wouldn't worry about it.
