maybe in the maccy dee's line in the usa.. in australia.. your fat if your a size 10 :P... so around a 18% is fat..

theres a difference between 'ideal' and 'average'
i say who cares what the average is? the average person doesnt work out and eats horrribly. Go for what should be, or what is ideal, around 12-14%
