Body fat percentage

Body fat percentage refers to the amount of fat that is present in your body compared to the rest of your body (like your bones, muscles, and organs).

Think of your body as a cake. The cake itself is your body, and the icing is the fat. The more icing on the cake, the higher the percentage of fat in your body.

Your body needs some fat to function properly, but too much fat can be unhealthy.

When you eat food, your body uses the calories (energy) from the food to keep you alive and do things like play and exercise. If you eat more calories than your body needs, the extra calories are stored as fat.

To figure out your body fat percentage, you can use a special scale or measure the thickness of the skin at certain places on your body (like your arm or stomach).

People have different body fat percentages depending on their age, gender, and lifestyle. For example, athletes may have a lower body fat percentage than someone who doesn't exercise at all.

It's important to maintain a healthy body fat percentage to stay healthy and feel good. You can do this through exercise, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep.
