The best-known member of the genus Atropa is Deadly Nightshade (A. belladonna) - the poisonous plant par excellence in the minds of many.
According to ACE's standards, it is normal for female athletes to have between 14 and 20 percent body fat, for fit women to fall between 21 and 24 percent and for average women to have between 25 and 31 percent body fat.
According to various sources, the minimum limit of body fat is around 2-5% for men2 and 10-13% for women.3 However, that is just the minimum amount. The average adult male body fat percentage should be between 18 and 25%. For women, their percentage of body fat in relation to age should be between 25 and 31%. The body fat chart also shows that the percentage of fat needed for the body to function properly increases with age. So, for example, 26% body fat is quite acceptable for a male over 55 years old. However, this would be classed as âover-fatâ or obese in someone in their late 20s.
