You can't tell just with a percentage. Tell that to your doctor.

thats above alot
24% is between "fit" and "acceptable" (i.e. tending toward a little fluffy :) ). It is not considered overweight, nor is it considered "thin."
Most people would describe a girl who had 24% body fat as "hot."
you so fat like a lil pig haha its ok u gonna get fatter como una puerca
33%-above: Over weight
27%-32%:slightly over weight
20%-26%:average
14%-19%:slim
10%-13%:very slim
Below: toooooooo skinny.
I ball parked it
For women the average body fat % is 18 to 20%. However you should take your body type into consideration as well, I know a few girls who have a higher body fat% but are in good shape. You are about average, so good for you, means you aren't one of the 75% of Americans who are over weight. Hope this helps.
Twenty four percent is average.
My dr told me that 18% is the minimum required for a woman to be able to ovulate. I think that 24 is good.
between 18% to 24% body fat.
I'm taking health and my class had to do this last week and I'm 16 so I would know
So 24% is good
