The body fat chart - Where do you stand?


This is a general guideline to help you figure out what your body fat. These are just estimates.

The chart for females is at the bottom of this post

Note that in the chart below, the lower body fat figures also pack on decent muscle so if you are fairly skinny but do not look like them, you are probably the same body fat percentage.

To see a six pack you must reach 11% body fat (this is the general guideline for males)



Measuring body fat on females is somewhat inaccurate but you could utilize a BMI calculator (easily found online) to calculate whether you are overweight. 

Note to girls looking to get visible abs: You would need to cut down to approximately 16% body fat. If you still want to measure your body fat, it is recommended that you buy calipers such as the ones featured here.
