What do you consider to be fat?

Being fat isn't about body WEIGHT...its more about the percentage of fat you have.  Back when I was fresh out of Marine Corps bootcamp I weighed in at 225 pounds and I'm 5'10" - not muscular, but tight.  I worked with a guy named Jeff who was also 5'10" and he weighed 225 pounds as well.  To see us standing side by side you would never guess we were the same weight because he had no muscle mass or definition, so he looked like a tub of crap compared to me. (Sorry if you are reading this Jeff).\n\nJust remember, 10 pounds of fat takes up the same volume of space as 20 pounds of muscle.\n\nSo if you can grab rolls of fat on your body then you are probably fat. If you can't, then you are probably well built.  Don't focus so much on the number your scale spits out.  Look in a mirror and be honest with yourself.

According to Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Handbook, here are  the men's fat level info.\nEssential fat-3-5(to live)\nVery low fat-7-10%(skinny appearance)\nLow fat-10-13%(trim looking)\nAverage fat-13-17%(normal appearance)\nAbove Normal fat-17-25%(plump)\nVery high fat Anything over 25%\n\nThe most accurate testing methods are the underwater testing or the "bod pod." These are also the most expensive. The most common testing method is the caliper or fat scale body impedance, which will get you a ball park idea, error rate of between 5-10%.\n\nI used to be heavy too and sometimes you have to be careful, though. I KNOW I am thinner than I perceive myself to be because I was heavy for so long. Ask someone who really doesn't care, but who is knowledgeable. Like a trainer at the gym, maybe. Say something like, I used to be fat, so I am not sure if my body image is off, what do you think? Because you CAN be too skinny and it can be dangerous to your health.

depends on your bodyfat percentage. i know girls at 5'6" who are around 140+lbs who are solid rocks and top triathletes with little fat. I also know girls at 5'6" who are 135lbs who look like fat pigs and don't have an ounce of muscle or definition on them and are really really unhealthy.

How fat is too fat..\n\n...if you can not tie your own shoes, your too fat\n...if you can not properly wipe your own behind, too fat\n...if you can not walk a flight of stairs without getting winded, you're too fat\n\nHow thin is too thin...\n...if your hip bones are visible through your skin, too thin\n\nI guess that's all I can think of at the moment, I hope I've given you some answers to think about.

Healthy. If you have excess fat in your diet then you will have health problems. Too little though, and your cells will not have strong membranes and if you are a girl you will be less defined... Ever wonder why supermodels need plastic surgery...\n\nPeople have different natural sizes. Eat until you are full, snack on food that does not have the word lard, and you should be okay.

Fat = Any size you, or your body is having trouble dealing with. You are not a statistic, or medical phenomena. You are you. Unique. \nWhat you look like is up to you - "Even overweight cats instinctively know the cardinal rule: when fat, arrange yourself in slim poses." John Weitz American clothes designer. And you know how much loved fat cats are !\nIf you have lost self confidence because you feel you are fat and not a cat, give up your car and catching the bus; walk. Walk and get noticed. My fat cat is noticed by everyone, they talk to it and it is happy to wind itself arround passerbys legs in reply. \nAs a cat owner and not a cat, please do not give up eating - you will not loose weight, just get seriously ill. If asked I would say alter your diet, although my cat would violently disagree. Be yourself, be happy.

Some girls think they are fat because society and the media put a value on being thin. Skinny is pretty. Nobody likes fat, and we see that as a disgusting lifestyle when people are overweight and unhealthy although it is clear that many people are indeed obese. Young girls worry about that because they want to be pretty and for everyone to like them which is a huge waste of time and they figure that out as they get older if they are smart.

Personally, I think beauty comes from within...however, I'm fat, so I may be biased.
