Ideal Body Fat Percentage

 

What body fat percentage is ideal?

The ideal body fat percentage for a man, 5% to 15% body fat is lean, while 15% - 25% is considered healthy for a woman. Most people near the lower end of these ranges are elite athletes in competitive condition, and it is seldom desirable or practical to stay this lean in the off-season, which is why the middle to upper body fat end of the range is more realistic and sustainable for many.
