- The optimal amount of body fat for a female is 13 to 20%, borderline goes up to 25% and after that, you're in trouble. At your age, just keep doing what you are doing, eat a balanced diet of healthy good foods and you shouldn't have to worry. You might want to ask for a bodyfat % scale for your next birthday, they are fun to have.
