Is this a REALLY good body fat percentage?
I used the body fat calculator and it said my estimated fat percentage was 7.66 % Is that really good? I'm 14 and female by the way. I don't look muscular though, like buldges lol

- I wouldn't trust the online calculations. if you are going to get your body fat % checked you should use a more scientific measurement such as electrical/body impedance or a fat caliper. If you did get these measurements done and truly have a 8% body fat, then this is too low for a female, in some women below 10% stops menstruation.
- lol, that can't be right. You'd very likely be dead! You have to really get a professional to test your body fat percentage, body fat calculators come out with all sorts of crazy numbers. As a teen female, you want to be somewhere in the region of 16%-28% body fat.
- Those are completely wrong sorry :( . Theres NO way you can be 7.66% without being a bodybuilder thats stage ready . Go to a local gym and have a trainer take your b/f with calipers . Your so young you should not even worry about your bodyfat % at your age.
