Body Fat %?
I am a 16 year old male and am just curious as to where my body fat % ranks. I don't think that I am overweight or anything it's just that we got a new scale at home the measures weight and body fat. I am 162 lb and 13% body fat. Is this too much or not? Be honest - i think it is. What would a good % be? Thanks for the time and help!

- am 5ft4 and weigh 126lb and got 8-9 %. its fairly average you got there
- That's about average for you height and weight. It's ok. I wish mine were still that good..LOL!
- I also tend to agree with the two answerers that you seem to be OK. However, remember that even a fourteen year old football aspirant in school is not expected to be above 100 lbs.So while your weight (and fat content) may be healthy for normal life it is not an ideal one for plays involving intense physical activity. You have not given your height which has an important bearing on this.A pygmy with this may be an overweight.
