Knowing height would: Knowing height would help, but if you have a large frame, you may be "there." i would suggest you have your body's percent fat analyzed.For a male your age 13-19% would be fine. Since you are a twenty seven year old male, you may be leaner than that. Leaness beyond 8% is dangerous!
