Small frame + low BMI

Hi guys,

For a start I stand at 1.70m tall but I weigh a pathetic 50kg. That would give my BMI figure of about 17.3 only which makes me way underweight. I've tried all means to gain weight but I never succeeded all along. I eat a lot and I enjoy all kinds of food unhealthy or healthy and my GP points it to genetic factors that I cant put on weight.

I've done a search before in this forum but the threads were quite sometime ago and I wonder if anyone has any idea if this would affect me from passing the class 1 medical? If of any interest I have passed the class 2 medical before and I'm wondering if there are any issues in weight or BMI that are not in class 2 but have some requirements in class 1.

Thanks!
