![]() So there's variation, but within a smaller window than it might seem. I've never seen anyone faces only look good at 8% or only at 30%. I don't think anyone really looks better at the extreme-extremes though. According to the American Council on Exercise, the average for a guy is 18 to 24 body fat 15 to 17 body fat puts you in the fitness category, while 6 to 13 body fat is athlete. Or are they harder (hollow cheeks, hard/sharp nose, square chin, etc.)? In that case maybe 19% or 20% would be ideal. Are you features soft (round nose, apple cheeks, full lips, round chin)? If so, shooting for the lower end of that bound (15% ish or lower) will probably suit your features best- features like that don't need the softening of facial fat. EatonEvans, in Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition (Second Edition), 2005 Total Body Fat. So I'd look at the general guidelines (like the other commenter said, I think "ideal" is supposed to be between 15-20% for women), and then look at your features. She really has to try to get a happy medium with her BF%, while I have to try and keep it as low low low as I can. I've seen her at higher weights and while her body looks better fit, I did think the softening of her cheek bones and eyes and nose at higher weights made her look younger and more feminine. My best friend, for example, loved how her body looked when she got really fit, but hated that her nose looked so much harder and larger and longer on her face. Some people though, have VERY strong/harsh features and actually look better softened with a little weight (assuming women here, men tend to be able to look as "harsh" as they want in the face and still look good). I just don't have strong enough bone structure to carry off a lot of weight. The difference at higher BF% vs lower ones is night and day as far as my face looks. I'm 5'2" and my bone structure including my face is pretty delicate/not strong at all. Underwater weighing may be one of the most accurate methods, however.Most people look better on the lower end of the healthy BF% for their weight, but there is some variation and it's basically just based on how "strong" or sharp you features are. It would be utterly stupid for a thin guy to start dieting just because his body fat came back with a high reading even though he doesn’t look it. More important than anything is the fact that it largely does not matter. You can guess and possibly come pretty close, but that should probably be left to those who have actually taken many body fat percentages of many different people. There are some people who can still see every ab muscle at 15% body fat. It also isn’t constant between all people. resting heart rate and BMI or body fat percentage4 to estimate if your body. they did’nt suddenly get tanned up and bulk without their bodyfat changing its difficult.

Condition can only be held for a few hours at a time. Bodyfat levels are close to 3% and subcutaneous water levels are near 0. Sliced = Muscles and tendons begin to appear in the face when chewing, striations appear everywhere and vascularity appears everywhere. Condition can be held for several days with careful dieting.
