Bodyfat estimate plz and some advice!!

[Ondle]

Hey guys im currently 150 pounds, age 18. I need some kind of estimate to what my bodyfat percentage might be.


Also i dont know if i should cut or bulk?

im afraid to bulk because i will gain fat and it will mostly be around my waist. If i cut I will look weird.

My workout: Lift 3 times a week, HIIT 3 times a week. I also do cardio after lift days.


I was on keto for the last 3 days along with IF. I decided to stop that because I was only eating 2 big meals and feeling hungry. I need a new plan.

I mean you could bulk, its up to you. I'd want to lose that stomach first. Just eat less and do some cardio. Shouldn't be that hard to lose. Just focus and imagine what you can be.

I know i want to lose the stomach fat immediately. I do cardio on lift days, and HIIT 3 times a week. My biggest problem is nutrition. I dont know If i should restart keto. Eat about 1900 calories while doing keto. What do you think?

your about 20% because you have no muscle your skinny fat if i was you i would bulk and not bother about what your body looks like for now just concentrate on getting stronger then cut,you look like you cant even do 1 push up you will look anorexic if you cut now

HAve you been lifting before OP? If not, i'd say jsut eat at your maintenance and start lifting those weight, you'll see improvements in muscle gain and bf% drop (newb gains). Otherwise i would say cut for a few weeks, drop the bf% a bit and then slow clean bulk.

lol if you cut now you'll be a walking skeleton. bulk up more before you decide to cut.

I lift, I had minimal gains, not very noticeable. I will try eating at maintenance and see what happens.

since i dont have a accurate bodyfat percentage i dont know my maintenance. Im using online calculators and using different bodyfat% and getting maintenance numbers taht range from 2400-2900.

So I guess I will start with 2400 and just keep adding a 100 cals a week??

bulking does not mean eating 8000 calories a day. Bulking has gone from what it should be( eating SLIGHTLY more then your body burns) to stuffing yourself day and night. I would say bulk up man. When you start to gain muscle your body will fill out and look much better. As well, muscle increases your metabolism. AKA more muscle will help you lose weight because of the increase in metabolism. It's incredibly hard to tell EXACTLY what each and every person needs because of all the different factors. I would reccomend starting at around 2000 cals and see where that takes you. if over time you see that your losing overall body mass that increase your totaly caloric intake by a 100. repeat as neccesary until you start to see gains in the gym and in the mirror. Obviously, the flip side is you begin putting on major fat. if that happens, do the opposite by cutting back a 100 cals until you can find the balance. It's all about the balance. make sure you have a proper lifting plan. Personally, I lift everyday because all I think about is training. If you've got that kind of intensity, you won't have a problem reaching your goals.

Best of luck, post if you have any questions.

thanks man. I have been eating 2000 cals while cutting. My weight wont go down. I fluctuate between 147-150. How many calories I eat and what I eat is the problem, and i have to figure it out. Im thinking about doing keto and eating 2400 calories, increasing 100 calories each week until maintenance.
