Body fat percent?
I am 13 and I have just been told that my body fat percentage is 18%. Can anyone give me an idea of where that is on a scale like obese or healthy and if you now can you also add the ideal percentage? Thx in advance!

- Here is a website to understand body fat percentage. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/bodyfat.htm To reduce your body fat percentage you need to build more muscle through exercise and proper food choices (protein)
- I think it's healthy. I think anything more than 30/35% is unhealthy/overweight, more than 75% is obese, and anything less than 12% (except for muscular runner athletes, whose body fat is about 9%), is underweight.
- For a male it's average, for a female it's athletic.
