Muscle weighs more than fat.
Opposite of that...you could have a guy weighing 150 pounds and he could have a big fat belly and be completely out of shape and unhealthy.
Plus the "average" weight is averaging in all the truly obese people into the equation which kinda makes the numbers look weird.
I wonder what the average weight of "normal" people would be (minus people who are truly freakishly obese)

Yeah... I understand all that Robbie... but you and I both know that the vast majority of people in this country that are technically overweight, are not due to muscle mass.
What would be MUCH more telling would be the average body fat % of a typical American adult. My guess is the average adult in the U.S. has 30% or damn close to it.
