Quick question of girlfreinds BF

[Stiffler]

I'm curious if 22% BF for a 22 year old girl is considered to be fat?

she works out pretty seriously and does cardio.

 

[Zyglamail]

I believe that 18-22% is considered "averag" for women and 15-17% for men.

 

[Stiffler]

she should be happy there or should she try to cut some more?

THANKS,
STIFFLER

I cant make the call on eather or not she should cut up. We all carry our fat a bit different. SOme people carry it very well and evenly dispursed, other carry it real spotty. I for one carry all my damn fat right on my abs....kinda sucks. If she wants to thin out a bit more thats her call and she shouldnt let anyone tell her differently.....unless she is going for some sort of sompetition and wants that kind of feedback. We are all on this rock for such a short time. We need to improve ourselves FOR ourselves and no one else. If she decides to cut up, let her know that it has to be what she wants and not because she needs to for you or anyone else.

Hey Stiffler, be very wary with this bro. You're probably walking on very thin ice when your GF asks about her bodyfat. My honest answer to her would be that we can all improve ourselves and should strive to do so. So if she's even questioning how happy she is with her physique I would tell her to take a slow and steady approach to changing her body with a particular goal or look to strive for in mind. That oughta make you both happy when all is said and done.
