Now that I got your attention, I don't mean morbidly obese. Fat is relative, and most triathletes are much leaner than the average non atheltic person, but very few have the very low fat % needed for optimal performance.
I know several ironman triathletes who could easily be at least 10 lbs lighter. It seems the more calories we burn, the more we need to consume, and we can never trim down as low as we would like to be.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are body builders who have poor cardio fitness but extremely low body fat % when they gear up for competition.
Any thoughts?
