Not the best expert here by far in fact I'm an amateur but if I judge against body fat percent pics on the net from low to higher I'd say you look around 35 percent.
Any takes on BF% change?
M/32/5'9" for reference. The progress is over the last year. Started at 79, now at 72 kgs.
I have recently started trying to get myself in shape after three very sedentary years. I am currently trying to plan my cuting/bulking plan. Height is 5' 7.7" (172cm) and weight is 164 pounds (74.4kg). Any estimates?
Tape measure
A basic way to measure body fat percentage is by using a soft tape measure, like the kind you’d use for sewing, to record measurements of different parts of the body. You can also find tape measures specifically marketed as body fat tape measures, like these ones on Amazon. For this method, you’ll also need to know your height in inches.
In men
If you’re a man, measure the circumference of your neck and abdomen. Make sure you measure the largest part of each area. It may be easier to have a friend or family member help.
To calculate body fat percentage, subtract your neck value from your abdomen value to determine your circumference value.
In women
If you’re a woman, you should record a measurement of the circumference of your neck, natural waist, and hips. Remember to measure each area at the widest part. You may want to ask a friend or family member to help.
To calculate body fat percentage, add your waist and hip measurements, and then subtract the neck measurement to determine your circumference value. For example, if your waist is 30, your hips are 36, and your neck is 13, your circumference value would be 53.
Tips
When the tape is placed over the skin, it should make contact but not compress the skin in any way.
Take all measurements twice and average them. Then record to the nearest half inch.
If you can’t find the corresponding chart, you may consider using an online Navy Body Fat Calculator to obtain your estimated body fat percentage.
Accuracy
Taking measurements and plugging numbers into an online calculator is relatively easy, but this method isn’t necessarily the most accurate. There’s a lot of room for error when measuring yourself. Things like clothing, what you’ve eaten, and how tightly you pull the tape measure may also affect results.

Amateur hour here but I bet you're at 22 percent or so.
Not sure why you think you can't safely cut,
Just calm and keep on... :)
[QUOTE=werto40;1638653113]i know, I'm trying to know what my body fat is so I can safely cut weight lol[/QUOTE]
I think you are about 20%, could be slightly higher or slightly lower. You can safely cut.
[QUOTE=dweeegs;1638075663]Close to hitting 6 months of progress, am I at 15% yet?
No pump or flexing, straight out of the shower
Thanks to everyone who does these estimates[/QUOTE]
Based on your abs I would guess below 15%, but it seems that you have a very favourable fat distribution storing little fat in your abs (chest, arms and shoulders look less lean than your abs) so I'd say 15% is a good estimate.
[QUOTE=pickerjuice;1638070733]Hello. I posted about a month ago on this forum and was estimated at 25% bf. Since then, I’ve lost 9lbs and have been doing strength training and light cardio 4-5 times a week. My lifts have actually still been slightly increasing too. My old and new photos are in my bodyspace. Wanted to see if I could get a new bf estimate based on my progress. Thanks so much.[/QUOTE]
I'd guess you are 22-23% now.

what's my bodyfat now?[/QUOTE]
I'd guess 15-16%. If I were you I'd start a long slow mass gaining phase instead of chasing abs.

Hey guys, looking for a BF estimate. I’m 5’8 and roughly 190 lbs right now. Lost about 30 lbs this year from dieting and hoping to cut to around 160 to get to a 15-16% type bf. Let me know what you think - thanks.[/QUOTE]
Nice work on the weight loss progress! I think you are 30-35% now. I think you will have to drop much lower than 160 to get to 15-16%, maybe 140-145 lbs somewhere would be my guess. This assumes you are doing resistance training on a good program throughout the entire cut.
I just reading your threads and they are really interesting.
I wanna lose weight
what is my body fat? I have 181 cm and 90.5 kg.

im going with 16 or so
[QUOTE=AdamWW;1638874203]im going with 16 or so[/QUOTE]
thanks for the estimate. I think I will lower the calories of the current diet by 500, because 1 month ago you also estimated that you were between 16-17%, it seems that I have not lost any fat. I think I'm calculating the very high tdee

[QUOTE=faithbrah;1638910183]well have you lost weight?[/QUOTE]
~2kg lost
but I think it was because I switched from a normal diet to a low carb diet

I estimated I was 16-17?
[QUOTE=brunogouveia58;1638910333]~2kg lost[/QUOTE]so you lost two kilos in a month, that means you're in a ~500 deficit. no need to lower your calories more - you most likely lost quite a bit of fat if you were training during the 2 kg weight loss process
5'8 (173 cm) and 148lbs (67 kg)
I attached 4 pics without a pump and without flexing
Any estimates would be welcome, thank you.

I was wrong to write I meant that you made the estimate that I had 16-17
[QUOTE=faithbrah;1638918143]maybe 16-17%?[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Closer to 17 tho.
