Oh the 3% was not an expression… Al I can say is that I seriously doubt you really are 3% bf. If you are I hope you have all your affairs in order because you’re probably not long for the world.

3% body fat is the amount of essential body fat needed to survive. Keyword survive, meaning you are breathing and your organs are still working but you are probably not capable of walking very far or doing anything for very long without collapsing. You’ve seen images of the 1943 famines in india? Those people were 3% body fat. So what I guess I’m saying is that I’d be willing to bet that you are at a higher body fat % than that, possibly around 6%-10% if you are capable of functioning in a day to day basis.
I don’t know about your medical issues, but if your problem is getting food in maybe try drinking them instead of eating them. Lots of people who have trouble gaining weight eat a lot less than what they think they need to in order to gain because they feel full with very little food. A mass gainer can help a lot with that because it’s like 800-1k kcal without being as filling as a fast food combo. So between that and breakfast +!another meal you should be close to 2200 kcal which should make you gain weight depending on your height. But again this is just general advice, I don’t know any about the conditions you mention so this might not work for you.

I’m not a doctor but that’s what I’ve heard over the years as I grew up. I’m in pretty decent shape so it’s possible you are correct and I was missinformed. But I can still run a mile or walk a few no problem. Im not super active anymore really outside the bedroom but I’m not the one who tries out… again I’m in my weight range for my height just type one diabetic my entire life.
