Does body fat percentage(s) include all brain fat percentage(s) and all body fat percentage(s)? (When responding to this post) If the answer is 100% yes etc, what is the lowest body fat percentage(s) a person can have, and survive, and what is the lowest body fat percentage(s) a person can maintain, and survive

No my question is:

If human biological tissue has such a low fat percentage that it cannot be maintained and survive- would this have a negative effect on the muscle in that tissue?

dont you need fat to maintain muscle?

You will show some effort, or your thread will be deleted. Your question *could* be for schoolwork -- we have no way of knowing for sure. And it is so easy foir you to show some links and effort toward answering your question here.
 
yes but i find its rude for you to assume its for schoolwork, and to villify me based on that, without proof- if the burden of proof is on me the only proof I can provide is that I am not in school and I don't know how I would even provide that info, so I think the burden of proof should be on you if you are going to accuse me of that. not to be rude
