Experts are going on record with their opinions to news outlets over the recent appearances of a frighteningly thin Lindsay Lohan, who they say has dropped below 100 pounds.

FOX interivewed a doctor wo commented on Lindsay Lohan’s photographs taken in recent days.

Dr. Kent Holtorf, Director of the Holtorf Medical Group in Los Angeles, told FOX that the 5’5'' starlet weighs around 95-100lbs with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 16.

According to standard guidelines, to be considered "healthy" Lohan should be at least 113-149lbs with a BMI of 18-25.

"There are signs of muscle wastage, clearly her bones are protruding and she looks quite rigid," Holtorf told FOX.

"She looks like skin and bones at this point, Lindsay clearly looks malnourished and unhealthy for her frame."

Another expert weighted in and shared with FOX that Lohan was on a bad path.

Hollywood clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, Dr. James E. Walton, told FOX that Lohan was "floating at 100 pounds" and is setting "a bad example."

"She seems to have no reserves, a little fat is very good because it gives us a reserve to fight off illness and repair injuries," Walton explained. " It has to be affecting her energy level a bit. It also cushions us against injuries, those low fat levels indicate a possible vitamin and mineral deficiency and can throw off proper hormone balances. She should weigh between 120 and 130 for healthy weight at her height ... Ok, for Hollywood, no lighter than 115 for her height. But that's only for Hollywood and the camera."
