Body fat percentage is the proportion of your body weight that is fat tissue, as opposed to lean mass (muscle, bone, organs). It's a better indicator of health than BMI alone.
For men, 10-20% is considered healthy; for women, 18-28% is healthy. Athletes typically have lower ranges, while essential fat is around 3-5% for men and 8-12% for women.
Online calculators provide estimates based on population averages. For precise measurements, consider DEXA scans, hydrostatic weighing, or professional assessment.
