Question: What do you think of 16% for a guy?


Answers: What do you think of 16% for a guy?

16% body fat for a man is normal. The essential body fat for a man is 2% - 5%. That would be a starving man, or an elite athlete. Your probably pretty fit considering that the fit body fat of a man falls somewhere between 14% and 17%. So you are a normal healthy man! Congrats.

I dunno

Maybe it depends :)

its more fat than you should want, but its not too much. Your about 4 to 8 percent over

Depends on your height and weight-
But it's not bad unless you're like 8 years old?

There's a site for it. Just put in your weight and measurements and they will give you the results.

Depends on how old you are. 16% is around average. I am assuming you are 20-30years old.

Check the BMI on-line to check (Body Mass Index.) Just Google search BMI and fill out info you need and it will be calculated for you.

No it's not too much, it's fine.

Body Fat % Males:

3%-5% Essential Body Fat
6%-11% Athletes/Body Builders
12%-20% Normal
21%-24% Borderline
25%+ Obese
