Ideal bf% teen

[ascendent]

What is the ideal body fat percentage to be at at the age of 14? Is low/high bf% better during developmental stage?

I've also heard that cutting can stunt growth and tbh height is all i want.

not fat obviously but not extremely lean either, I'd say 13-15% is fine

I could argue that you can go even further and go 11-12%

10% is the max

cutting doesnt stunt growth, common misconception

ideal is between 10-15%

that's risky but sure, as long as he doesn't go under 10% his growth should be fine

depends on duration, stunting growth only happens when your anorexic, when you have fat your body uses its own fuel

your body goes through catch up growth when your done cutting to compensate and return to height velocity

being fat also stunts growth because the fatter you are the higher your e2 levels are

14% is perfect for optimal health, etc but I'm 15 and lean on the leaner side because shitty fat distribution
