- 10-15%
- You can check your BMI here http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/ Also know obesity causes allot of other problems
- Check out this page: http://www.snac.ucla.edu/pages/Weight_Fitness/Weight_Managment.htm It explains what body fat percentage is, how it is calculated and the desired percentages based on gender, age and fitness level.
- I take it you are male. Your body fat percentage should be between 8% and 24%. Now, I don't know if you work out or what sort of build you have, but your predicted body fat is about 30%. If you do have a lot of muscle or a larger frame, it may be much less, but you need to have your body fat percentage checked professionally before embarking on any weight loss. HTH : )
