Female Body Fat %

Hi Oupa I would just like to know as you are very knowledgeable about the female physique. For men we Ideally do not want to be over 15% body fat. So what about the ladies what number should the aim to be at to be average if we say that 15% is what the guys aim for?

Description Women Men
Athletes 14–20% 6–13%
Fitness 21–24% 14–17%
Average 25–31% 18–24%
Obese 32%+ 25%+

This is the average going percentages...
