Body fat rate standard (how much body fat rate is the standard)

Let's be clear, you don't want to see your figure out of shape, but you want to be slim and stylish. So according to this, we need to find out whether the weight determines the figure or the fat and muscle mass determines the figure.

The root of obesity is excessive body fat.

From the fitness competition, we will find that almost all the contestants are surprisingly overweight, 170cm is 70kg for men, 180cm is 85kg for men, and even bodybuilders 100kg. In the impression of many people, the average person of 100KG is already a big fat man, but in fact, bodybuilders are muscular and have obvious lines.

Therefore, weight is not the key to measure obesity, the key is the level of body fat rate, which determines the figure.

Let's take a look at the latest body fat ratio table for men and women:

Generally speaking, male body fat rate is 8%- 15%, abdominal muscles can be seen, and more than 20% are slightly obese; Women can see vest lines below 24%, body fat below 20%, and more than 28% tend to be slightly obese. Are you obese or standard?

According to the perfect figure pursued by ordinary people, we don't have to reduce the body fat rate to below 8% for men or 0/5% for women, which would be too thin. And this is not conducive to healthy development.

Because the internal organs need a certain amount of fat as a buffer zone and the secretion of hormones needs fat to be synthesized, it is more beneficial to keep some fat in the body for physical development and health.
