What is the normal body fat percentage?

Question

for adult females? What is the average body fat percentage for like say models?

Answer 1

around 18% for models

anywhere up to 24% is considered LEAN

Answer 2

Adult females: 19%-29%

Fitness models: 15%-18%

P.S. Skinny does not equal lean. Catwalk models are not leaner than fitness models or body builders even if they look skinnier and weigh less. 12% body fat looks like this: http://effectivebodybuilding.files.wordp... not like this: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p70/z...

Answer 3

19-24% is the norm for woman

under 19 is considered unhealthy

over 24 is considered unhealthy

I learned this last year in health class

Normal girl= 20-30%

Super skinny model maybe 12%

When I was in college, my whole Cross Country team took underwater(only accurate measure) bodyfat tests and most of the div1 track girls were over 20%

Answer 5

avarage

Answer 6

Last year I was 19% and could easily have lost more fat without being considered "model thin" but then again I am more muscular than many women.  I would say 16-17% would be ideal for me, but depends on the woman too.
