but I carry a fair amount of muscle along with my flab Is this honest truth? Ever step on one of those body composition scales? I used to tell myself when I was super skinny that, hey, at least what I did have was muscle and I wasn't weak. But it was not true, there was very little muscle, and I was weak as hell. I was like 18% BF at a BMI of 17. It's one of those pernicious lies we tell ourselves that we want to believe because they make us feel better about ourselves.
