I'm nearing my goal weight so i'm starting to get focused on changing my body composition. I'm not sure what my goal should be. Currently I've tested twice on BIA tanita and calipers and I got 17-19% body fat. I own a tanita scale at home as well and my body fat varies day to day based on hydration levels I'm assuming. I know that bioimpedance test and caliper are not as accurate as bod pod or dexa so my body fat is probably higher than 17-19%. Feel free to look at my photos if you guys want to approximate my body fat based on my photos.

Well my question is what do you think is a good goal for body fat percentage for women?

I appreciate men's responses as well.

Thank you
