Anything over 15%, and you are entering an unhealthy zone. So once you get to 15%, back down a little bit on the caloric intake and do more cardio. Once your percentage goes down, you can spike up your caloric intake to hit the 15% zone again. It´s all about tweaking and measuring. Best of luck! Dan C<br><b>References : </b><br> Hello Ritchie,

It´s all about tweaking and measuring.

Most people's abs become visible at around 10%. So to answer your question, I think if you're under 14% you're probably okay. Plus, you can always worry about losing the fat later once you've put on some muscle.
