Thanks ninerbuff, so it is likely even tho I worked it out on several different websites, that it is incorrect?0

For women that is extremely low. That is beyond just athletic and lower than most charts for professional athletes. Keep in mind that for a woman essential body fat is in the 10%-12% range. Go lower than that and your health would be at risk.
So ya, that is ripped.0 -
Websites are totally inaccurate.
You would REALLY have to be training/ eating for that body type.
My body fat is about 15% and it's too low. I don't have periods and I suffer health issues with it. I am working on building it back up.0
