It really depends on the individual. A very healthy percentage is 20% or less.
30% or less is acceptable. Over 25% for men and over 30% for women is considered obese.
These are just general percentages. They vary quite a bit by sex and individual.
Men under 8% and women under 12% are probably too low.
