What is Body Fat Percentage?
Body fat percentage is the proportion of fat to total body weight. Unlike BMI, which only considers height and weight, body fat percentage gives a more accurate picture of fitness and health.
Healthy Body Fat Ranges
- Men: 6–24% (athletes 6–13%, fitness 14–17%)
- Women: 16–30% (athletes 16–23%, fitness 21–24%)
Why Calculate Body Fat?
Tracking body fat percentage helps in weight management, fitness progress, and overall health monitoring. It’s a key metric for understanding whether your weight loss is from fat or muscle.
