For men, fit should  be between 14% and 25%, and excellent shape, as low as 2%.

To calculate your body fat, write down  how much you weigh
(be honest – no one will see this but you).   Multiply your weight by 703.  Next, write  down your height , in in ches.Mu ltiply  by  that  same nu mber.  Then you will divide your weight number by your height number.  That  is your BMI.  For example,  if  your 
weight were 150 pounds x 703, your weight answer would be 105,450.  If your 
height is 5’4”, that would be 64 inches x 64 for a total of 4,096.  Taking the105,450 divided by 4,096, you come out with a BMI of 25.7.
