What is a good body fat percentage?

A good body fat percentage depends on age, sex, activity level and measurement method. Typical healthy values are about 21–36 % for adult women and 8–25 % for men. Athletes can be lower. The most important thing is to track your own development rather than aim for a single universal number.
