Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 1999–2004 have recently shown the percent body fat of American adults. Average American men and women have ~28 and 40% body fat. When categorized by BMI and age, the data also show high percent body fat values, particularly in lower BMI categories. These data should make one reflect on the health status of Americans in all BMI categories and the use of these data for public health recommendations.

So in short, 100%
28% & 40% bf! That’s insane.

It’s baffling how someone could let themselves get that far without taking action.

That study was 18 years ago, it’s probably worse now with the prevalence of smart phones.

Being below 30% body fat puts you ahead of the average American in 2022

fit and toned is just retard talk for tall with muscles. Pretty much all women think short guys with muscles are "narcissists"

Lol, perhaps. What a sad state of society.

I wonder if there is a correlation between increasing societal body fat percentages and decreasing societal testosterone levels?

Calories have increased

Physical activity has decreased

this, it sets you apart physically. But people really only give a fuk about how they can boost their social value off of you / use you as a means to lifestylemax

Yeah, I'm mid 30s and I'd say most of the people I know are like 15-20% at the lowest. If I could get down to like 13% I could pull basically any girl I wanted.

I don’t think so. Her boyfriend is about 5’10.

She didn’t like when I hung out with an IFBB Pro and her mass monster friends.

if you aren't 220lbs sub 10% it's already over for you

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Keeping a low BF and taking care of yourself absolutely puts you in the upper tier past 30. The average 30 year old in my area is obese, wears safety green t-shirts and has a beard that hasn't been washed in 5 months.
