Default Do you know your body fat ratio?


It is possible to look thin but be fat. If you are not active but are blessed with skinny genes you could still have some fat related health risks. The ideal body fat ratio for teen girls ages 14 - 19 is between 20% and 24%. The ideal body fat for teen boys in this age group is between 15% and 20%. If you have a high ratio you need to get fit even if you do not need to lose weight.

Default Re: Do you know your body fat ratio?

Fat ratio is the total weight of the animal's fat divided by the animal's weight and reflects both essential fat and storage fat. Essential fat is that amount necessary for maintenance of life and reproductive functions. The percentage for women is greater than that for men, due to the demands of childbearing and other hormonal functions. Essential fat is 2–5% in men, and 10–13% in women.
