Being really skinny means having little or virtually no fat or muscle components in one's body. The BMI (Body Mass Index) of a skinny individual may be low because a BMI is the percentage of fat to lean body tissue (muscle). If a person has a low BMI, then they're honestly "really skinny" so to say, and should incorporate more proteins and carbohydrates into their diet in order to assure a healthy weight. Being athletic is another cause of one being very lean, which is a good thing, but being athletic also means having a fast metabolism, so one does not absorb as many nutrients from their consumed food as they should because their body burns the calories from the food off so quickly.
