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.

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

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

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.
