What is a healthy body fat %?

I'd say if you could hover in the single digits then there's nothing wrong with that

single digits is pretty hard to hit "healthy" could be anything under 18 in my opinion. but i do think there is a difference between ripped and healthy

i know a little about it,i am not sure for it .

depends if your a male or female, for males medically speaking a healthy body fat is anywhere between 8-20% essential fat being approx 3% for women healthy body fat is between 21-33% with essential fat approx 12%. It changes with age and its only a guide but thats roughly it

most people in this forum, i think, will aim for a fat percentage that makes them look lean or ripped. For healthy, it's not that hard. Less than 20% is pretty good.
