What is My Body Fat Percentage? - Post Your Estimate Request Pictures Here - Vol III

Hi! Could I get an estimate? I've been trying to track cals but online calculators suggest my TDEE is 1500. So I've been trying to eat 1000cals a day to lose fat but it's too restrictive. I'm 160cm, 60kg

[QUOTE=xalg;1503633131]Hello all, I am new. Can I get an estimate please.

Height: 5'9
Weight: 147lb

I have lost 13+ pounds (while lifting + monitoring calories and macronutrients) in the past 2 months in an attempt to get to 10% bf before bulking but I'm afraid that my weight is going to just get lower and lower...(without losing my belly, that is). At this point I'm not sure if I should start bulking or not and then just cutting later..

Advice appreciated and apologies for pic quality :) (Pic 4 is under different lighting)[/QUOTE]

I would say 16 percent

[QUOTE=danjamhow;1503741131]Height 6ft1

I'd roughly guess at 17% but interested to know what others think[/QUOTE]

17%. I agree with your estimate

23 percent bodyfat. Which might seen high but Woman have more essential fat than men.
You look perfectly fine and healthy. Just exercise and workout hard in the gym. Eat 1300 calories -1400 calories.
Again you look good. So even if you have 1500 calories as long as your getting stronger and you keep active it means your building muscle and not putting on fat.

I’ve never posted up photos like this before but I’d like to get an estimate of my bodyfat please.

I’ve been trying cut to and weigh several Kg less than 6 months ago but unfortunately if the bodyfat % on the machine at the gym is accurate then that loss is 75-100% muscle which is the opposite of what I want. I’m feeling disheartened but trying to better track calculate my TDEE for going forward.

Around 15%BF.

You shouldn't trust machines for BF% readings, they are inaccurate at their best. As long as you lift, muscle loss on a deficit is a minor factor and mostly bound to intramuscular hydration.

No sure if I am doing this wrong, or my earlier request just got missed, but would someone be able to help with an estimate?

Thanks

Excellent! The machine reckoned 25% bodyfat (much higher than the 20% estimate from a different machine 6 months ago) and I spent the rest of yesterday really depressed about it. I have strong abs muscles and hints of a six pack emerging if I tense them so 15%ish does sound more right than 25%.

I have definitely lost some strength all over my body in the last few months but I'm happier with that and I'm going to track and adjust my calories with a TDEE spreadsheet in future to get more accurate a picture.

[QUOTE=JDW68;1503715571]Hi everyone.

5'10, 153lbs

Looking for an estimate and a little advice. I'm brand new to lifting, etc., have been on my first cut for 17 weeks now and have lost ~20lbs.
Over this time I've been able to make significant gains in my lifting, but I was starting form a very low base.
I would love to push my calorie intake back up, to eat again like a normal adult, but I feel like it might be easiest to squeeze out any of the last stubborn fat now (if necessary/advisable) while I'm used to the diet, and then be able to slow bulk for as long a time as possible.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

As I am new, starting and current pics are on body space.[/QUOTE]

Looks to be around 11%BF.

You certainly don't need to cut further, unless you have a specific goal in mind. Feel free to start your slow bulk anytime you prefer:-)

Want a good estimate before I bulk hard over the summer

One is with good lighting, both abs are tensed

I am 184 cm (6ft) and around 85kg at the start of the day. Im on my phone so I can't post pics but my pics are at my bodyspace, I have abs flexed and unflexed along with arms. my friend says high end of 13 percent but I think i am more mid 12 percent or low 13 percent. All pics were in good lighting.

I would estimate to around 15%. What do you think?

Thank Tucane, I appreciate the estimate.
As far as my goal goes, at this point it's nothing more than whittling down the fat stores in my lower abdominal as much as possible. My thought is that losing as much as I can from there now will mean that as I bulk any newly acquired fat will distribute more evenly across my body and I'll have less to lose from the lower abs.. At least that's the theory I'm operating under right now - not sure if that theory holds water or not.
Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

Fareed1998..Hmmm these stats puzzle me. If you were 189 at even 14% bf that would mean you have a FFMI of of nearly 23. This simply seems high to me. Just as an example that kinobody dude Greg O'gallagher is a 23 on the ffmi. And clearly , he has a lot more muscle mass then you or I do.. and may have even juiced at one point ( im not convinced he has by any means but certainly possible). It seems a couple things are possible 1 ) you hold body fat well in terms of distribution location. Or 2) your scale is off by a few pounds. Or maybe both lol

ConquerMyself...Yeah , I would say you are correct , a bit higher is likely . 25 % or so . Hard to tell sometimes in the over 20% range. Losing weight rapidly at the start when at high bf% is common . Not all of this weight loss is fat though. A significant portion MUST be water weight ( inflamation ect). Even a super agressive 1k per day defficit can only shed 2lbs of FAT per week. Thermodynamics never lie. Energy can not be created or destroyed only transformed.

Pics are in my gallery on my bodyspace. I have a front and back unflexed and one front flexed. I figure I'm 20-22%. Stats are 5'9 195. Looking to cut to ~15%, my guess is I will need to be 180-185 for that to happen. Current cut I am down 10 lbs in 11 weeks, so about 1lb per week.

Yep 15% looks about right, might even be a little less.

Looking to get bodyfat % - 167lbs, 6'1", 31 y/o.

5'9" 196lbs

I've been working out for the last month and a half and the scale has changed between 192-197. My girlfriend says I have slimmed out a little but obviously the scale is driving me nuts so I'm not sure if I'm losing fat while gaining muscle or what. Need some estimates and some recommended steps

Sorry for poor lighting cloudy morning. Pics are in my bodyspace

Its been a month of cutting. Lost ~10 lbs. Can anyone tell me what my before and after body fat are? Currently 5'11" 247lbs 315+bench 405+deadlift.

Was shooting for 10%. But after today i feel i need to raise my intake. So how did i do? Was cutting since January.

Can I get a BF% estimate? 28, 6'0 tall, 173 lbs. I'd put myself at ~15%. Top pic is a vacuum with ab flex, bottom pic is like a transverse abdominis flex.

Yep looks like 10%, with all that vascularity you've reached your goal, now it's time for some quality muscle.

Not quite 15%, little higher around 16 to 17.

Thank you! Going to add 300 calories to my daily 2000 and go from there.

Can anyone please give me an estimated bodyfat on 2 old progress pictures in my bodyspace profile? (pics in my pic was taken March and April, 181 lbs and 175 lbs respectively)

I started my weight lost journey on Feb 2017 after undergoing a spinal cord stimulator implant to help with my chronic leg and back pain. I started at 200 lbs on mid Feb 2017, just eating cutting junk foods and walking x3 a week for 300 cal burn. I just recently started learning about macros and would be incoporoting them with my nutrition.

I would like an estimate on my bf.
