As of recent estimates, approximately 1-2% of the UK population is classified as underweight. This figure can vary slightly depending on the specific criteria and data sources used, but it consistently reflects a small portion of the overall population. Underweight individuals are typically defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of less than 18.5.

Is it possible for a healthy guy to have 10 percent body fat and STILL be underweight because of a lack of muscle but NOT fat?

Yes! i know a guy who is underweight and yet he even has 10 percent bodyfat. He doesnt work out at all so yeah you can have a good healthy bodyfat and still be underweight from a lack of muscle not fat. I also know about a guy who is prettly fat and he is also underweight. I think you can have a good healthy body fat percentage and still be underweight from a lack of muscle not fat. You can be underweight from muslce even though you have a good body fat percentage. So yeah it's possible to be underweight from muscle ONLY...and at the same time maintaining a good fat percentage.
