That is very unhealthy she does not have the recommended amount to even sustain a constant flow of fluids in her body. This girl needs help. She should have 10-12% body fat.

Bullshit, how has she measured that? No it is not safe, around 8-10% is a safe, long-term, body fat level.

For a girl, it's an absolutely extreme level!!!
She should go to a doctor and discuss some measures.
