"Healthy Obese" and "Skinny Fat" Many of us will have seen this article, which is unsurprisingly quite biased. It claims 12% of men are "healthy obese", and 15% of shitladies are actually "skinny fat". Well, I don't value my time very highly and I like big datasets (shutup).  So I found it and made my own graph! From this table I used the upper limit of "fitness" for the BF% cutoff (as we all know "average" is not something to which to aspire), and properly defined the different BMI categories. Conclusions: So, to the "big guys" who are "mostly muscle", there's a 99.7% chance you're wrong.  And to the "sassy girls" who say that skinny bitches are just skinny-fat, you're actually right.  But that's just the sad state of the population today, and they've still got way less fat than you. I leave you with a passage from the Book of Brodin: Gainesis, 1:11 - Then Brodin said, “Let them place heavy-ass weights on a bar and put it on their backs until their quads are so strong they push the earth.” And it was so. PS: Will be verifying as soon as I have some points.
