No.


I don't know why the YMCA is so far off the rest, but I think the rest all put you squarely in the slightly underweight category. which is pretty good. Probably just where you want to be. I'm pretty sure that the 18% limit is just for athletes because of the Female Athlete Triad. Oh. And just recalled that anorexics also get FAT - but they might be gym bunnies as well.


The only other issue might be if you lived in a very cold climate or a place that occasionally had famines. in that case, you would probably want to have more fat.
