Nobody cares about an ounce of fat, it's necessary to have an appropriate storage of energy for every creature. 4-18% of body fat percentage are actual in the range of a normal and acceptable weight. But fatties have 30% or more body fat percentage, that's often more than one THOUSAND ounces.

Do you know if the 4-18% is general for both genders? I could agree that a male with under 5% body fat could still be perfectly healthy, but you'd have a hard time convincing me that the same is true for a woman. If I'm wrong, I will admit my fault, but that seems like a severely anorexic bmi, coming from someone who was diagnosed as anorexic at 10%.

Yes, you are right, the range of a normal body fat percentage varies for age and genders. I just knew the numbers for (younger) men because these matter for me. So for these 3-5% body fat are absolutely essential, and even that's way more than an ounce, that's what I wanted to say.

I'm not the person you asked, but no, it does not. Women need more fat than men. Essential levels alone (below which your body cannot function and you die) are 10-12% for a woman. Here's a visual aid.

Beat me to it. Hams fail basic biology...again.

"If you have an ounce of fat blah blah" -Something with 100+ pounds of excess fat.

"Why is loving to drink and alcohol and "getting drunk" only acceptable when you do it two Saturdays a month and always have a designated driver? Like I'm so sick of girls being able to talk about how they love jello-shots and partying and shit but if you have a pair of DUIs and a series of ruined relationships and can't hold down a job and get blackout drunk every chance you get, you're fucking shamed to death for drinking anything..."

Wow, you are a genius. That's the best analogy ever created to explain anything ever. Well done.

I pigged out last Friday. My wife brought home my favorite pizza. I ate half all by myself. I haven't had that pizza in at least 2 years. Sometime soon I will eat my favorite donuts. But today is not that day.

See, you and I both know that when we see each other pig out that it's a blip on our caloric intake that will be averaged out into nothing in a couple days. When these hams see a skinny person eat they usually see it at a spacial event. They then extrapolate that out into the skinny person being able to do that everyday and stay slim while they can't.
It's kinda childish, it's like a child being shocked to see a teacher outside of school. They assume that people only exist as they see them, and can't comprehend that people might act differently in their personal life.

Yeah. I went to my favourite brewpub tonight. Had a few beers, an appetizer, entre and dessert. The difference between me and a fat is I won't do it again until sometime next year and they will do it again two more times this week.
