[*] Tape Measure
Here's the chart.
Range of Percent Body Fat in Different People
(Percent body fat found through the method of underwater immersion testing)
Men Women
Fattest Covert has tested 55% 68%
Average American 22% 32%
Healthy normal*:
African-American 12% 19%
Asian 18% 25%
Caucasian 15% 22%
Top Athletes 3-12% 10-18%
Leanest Covert has tested 1% 6%
*The bones of African-Americans tend to be dense and so they sink easily in water. On the other hand, the bones of Asians are light and porous so they tend to float. To allow for these differences, healthy African-Americans should have a lower percent body fat than Asians and Caucasians, while Asians should have a higher percent body fat than African-Americans and Caucasians.
My results
You have 12% body fat.
You have 14.2 Pounds of fat and 103.8 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).
