33.4 % body fat,how does this look?

[Manny735]

So I just got my results back from a déxa scan and here are the results

35 years old
5"10
240.6 lbs
33.4% body fat
152.7lbs lean muscle
80.5 lbs fat
Bone 7.4 lbs


Based on these numbers at a sedentary level I should be eating 2133 to 2266 calories which will allow me to drop 1% of body fat a month.

Do you think the calories are a bit high for fat loss?

Based on the amount of lean muscle mass I have they advised I should be on split like this:

30% protein 20% carbs and 50% fat

Also suggested that the average person my weight and fat percent has about 120lbs of lean muscle mass,and I am at 152.7lbs which is why my protein intake is not needed to be higher.

I just hired Josef Rakich to help me on my journey.

I know I should post pics which I will do later

Sounds reasonable.

Macro % shouldn't matter. Just make sure you getting enough protein and fat.

Also suggested that the average person my weight and fat percent has about 120lbs of lean muscle mass,and I am at 152.7lbs which is why my protein intake is not needed to be higher.

I would think you need more protein if anything.

I eat 2500 calories and I lose weight at that number... I think you can eat way more than 2300 calories.. Dont rush your weight loss... you should aim at losing 1 pound of fat a week..
