16-18% body fat?

[RanskiESL]

Hi. I'm 127lbs and I'm 15, I'm not focusing my efforts on putting on size at the moment, because obviously I'm eating at a calorie deficit. So, I'm uncertain of my current body fat percentage, I'm estimating that I'm about 16-18% body fat. But previously I have underestimated even though I have used a pair of recently to measure. In my AV I was 129lbs, I took it a couple weeks ago. Could anyone give a rough estimate on what BF% I am in my AV, and could anyone possibly post some images of 16%-18% BF. Thanks in advance

The question is why are you eating at a deficit at 127 pounds

I think I was roughly 16% here OP, but why the **** would you cut at 127 lbs?

not 16%. You just have little muscle mass so no defenition. This is defently sub 15.

probably the same for OP. Unless OP is manlet of peace and like 5´1

I was going to leave bulking till later

I'm trying to lose fat, I'm going to focus efforts on bulking when I reach 120lbs, I've heard that you can't lose fat and build muscle at the same time so I'm focusing on fat loss which I think would be a bit harder than putting on mass

Wrong mindset. At this point, with the little muscle mass that you have, you have the ability to gain muscle and lose fat to a certain extent. By eating a slight surplus, you will put on lean muscle mass. And being that having more muscle means burning more calories, you will lose some fat in the process. Now once you get more muscle mass on your frame, this won't be the case, and you will have to start bulking/cutting. But for now I'd eat at a ~500 calorie surplus, put on some mass, and once you get up to size you can worry about cutting.

I'm a beginner to bodybuilding and the main question was what was my about body fat percentage. So I'm sorry if my body's lack of lean muscle at the present moment causes you to think this is a troll.

And at what point would you consider it appropriate for me to cut?

Okay, I'll start to eat more but, can somebody estimate my body fat percentage using my AV?
