1. nobody can tell you your body fat percentage no matter what info you give them, but since you have a six pack, it has to be about 14%, since for girls, thats about the most you can have. to be sure, go to a doctor, they have to run a test to find out.
2. If you really want to know what your body fat percentage is, you should get a skinfold measurement done. Go to the following website http://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bodycomp.html then click on the instructions and make sure to read them. I would recommend you to go to a fitness center and get a certified trainer to perform these measurements because they have the correct training for it. Also, once you get it done try and make sure the same person does if you ever want to retest it. Remember, this is only an estimate, and if you do it yourself the margin of error would be greater than if a certified person were to do it.
3. look at your BMI. body mass index
4. I'm thinking that you are some where around 15-20% body fat. check out site below and enter your information under teen BMI calculator.
5. Here is a link to a couple of on-line body calculators. You can try both and see what they come up with. http://www.eskimo.com/~cdickens/FatCalculatorF2.html http://www.eskimo.com/~cdickens/FatCalculatorF3.html You will need to measure the circumference of your wrist, forearm (area just below the elbow on the lower arm) and neck as well as your hips and waist, and then it will calculate your body fat percentage. Here is a guide to body fat percentages and what they mean: 10% - 13% Essential fat just to stay alive 14% - 19% Lean body mass - serious athletes only 20% - 24% Ideal body fat for optimum fitness 25% - 31% Acceptable body fat 32%+ Overweight You want to be aiming for 20% - 24% body fat.
