- Healthy body fat percentage is about 10-15% for men and 18-22% for women. Your height, weight, and age are somewhat irrelevant. You need to be close to the lower end of the range if you want your abdominal muscles to start showing.
- the nice thing about BF% compared to BMI, is that its pretty much the same for all males and females. Let me rephrase...Males have an ideal region and female their own. You wanna see abs??? Then you need to get below 10%. The average health male has between 10-16%. females on the other hand are about 24% and sometimes a bit lower. Hop this helps:)
