Wow, kind of surprised that this made it to 3 pages seeing as it was started as a mockery of the "How much does **** weigh" threads... but I guess I'll play.

That said, there is no reason to be over 10% body fat for a man. At that point you have more than you can use in any endurance event and you are just carrying around the weight, quite literally.

Are you saying of the healthy 12-15% body fat you should be have only 3-5% body fat?(adding 9-12% as storage) Your body doesn't distinguish between the two. So what is healthy by your definition? I was once at 7% body fat in my early 20's when I played tennis. But 8-19% body fat for men is healthy while 21-33% body fat for women. Below 8% is unhealthy. I still want to get down below 10% but I will do that with some muscle building so I don't look like Karen Carpenter.
I am not sure what you are asking, but I will take a shot at answering. Keep in mind that I am not a helth professional, just someone who reads a lot and practices what I read.
If you are a man and you are 12% body fat, you are very much in the health range by most standards. Out of that 12% though, only 3% of your body weight is essential fat (stored in your organs, bone marrow, and nervous system). So, 9% of your body weight is storage fat and can be safely lost.
As I noted above, many health professionals don't recommend going below 5% because the lack of reserves can make you susceptible to illness and less likely to survive serious illness.
Wikipedia seems to have a good article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage
