Body Composition and Goals

[Cats tongue]

So I posted this in the 20-somethings, but I want all you pro maintainers opinions too.

So me and a friend of mine signed up for a fitness course called "women on weights". And today was our first class. We didn't get into the weights, but we did get our measurements and body composition stuff done. It was pretty cool.

So my body fat % is 24.5 (roughly) which sounds great to me, right? I weighed in at 141 (2lbs up, but it was midday and after eating...). My measurements were similar to what I've measured recently.

But I have a question, how reasonable is it to have a goal of 21% bodyfat?
Any suggestions for what to eat to get there? Or workouts or something in general?
I'm vegetarian, so should I eat more protein? And what protein?

Haha, I know so much about healthy eating and exercise, but now that I'm determined to get my bodyfat down (now that I know what it is!) I feel uterly clueless...

A body fat of 21% is considered in the normal to lean range, I don't know why it wouldn't be considered reasonable. Here's a page that might help you a bit:
