Average Girl Bf %

[spitzor]

aye guys i have a question
this girl im dating is always freaking out about herself being fat and having a high bf percentage, i know nothing about a girls bf% and what the average is, but she went on some website and did all her measurements and it told her that she had a bf % of 30, and so shes all freakin out to me sayin shes fat and blah blah blah, my bf is about 10-11%, and i consider that kind of average, i know what range most guys bf is by looking at them, but i never really considered it for girls, since i guess they have considerably less amount of muscle than men, shes by no means fat, shes 5'2 110 pounds, and she runs 5 miles every day, so was just curious if someone could throw out an average for women, thx, any help is much appreciated

anything less than 20% is considered above average...less than 17 is athletic, less than 15% is shredded and less than 11% is Bodybuilder.

to find 60%-70% of a girls max heart rate, do u use the same formula, 220-age then 60% of that number?

i dont think it differs for girls...but i could be wrong

it doesnt differ?? A female @ 11% is contest ready. A man a 11% is no where near contest ready? If it is the same why such the drastic difference for those who step on stage?

18%-25% is the recommended range for females. . .
30% is probably average because 60% of the population is overweight. . .

So true!!

[Meatie*V]

11-14% = Extreme lean
15-20% = Athlete
25%-30% = Average
30%+ = Overweight
