- Try this site to calculate your BMI http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/bmi.htm
- 6.2% is good. I am not totally sure, but I have a hunch that anything over 15% is unhealthy. At the moment, you are fine. I do not know the ideal percentage, though. You could check that on a health or government site I am sure.
- Yes that is really good. I think guys should be 12% or less and women 20% or less. Something like that.
- It is recommended that men have 15-18% body fat and women have 20-25% body fat. Athletes may be lower.
