Currently lean bulking. What is my estimated body fat percentage and should I keep bulking or start cutting? Thanks and sorry in advance for sideways pics. Photo in my bodyspace.[/QUOTE]
Bumping this because I don’t know whether to bulk or cut same stats but weight is at 174. Pics in my body space. Let me know thanks.
Losing abdominal fat, or belly fat, is a common weight loss goal.
Abdominal fat is a particularly harmful type. Research suggests strong links with diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease (1Trusted Source).
For this reason, losing this fat can have significant benefits for your health and well-being.
You can measure your abdominal fat by measuring the circumference around your waist with a tape measure. Measures of above 40 inches (102 cm) in men and 35 inches (88 cm) in women are known as abdominal obesity (2).
Certain weight loss strategies can target the fat in the belly area more than other areas of the body.

4. Eat fiber-rich foods
Dietary fiber is mostly indigestible plant matter.
Eating plenty of fiber can help with weight loss. However, the type of fiber is important.
It appears that mostly the soluble and viscous fibers have an effect on your weight. These are fibers that bind water and form a thick gel that “sits” in your gut (25Trusted Source).
This gel can dramatically slow the movement of food through your digestive system. It can also slow down the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The end result is a prolonged feeling of fullness and reduced appetite (26Trusted Source).
One review study found that an additional 14 grams of fiber per day were linked to a 10% decrease in calorie intake and weight loss of around 4.5 pounds (2 kg) over 4 months (27Trusted Source).
One 5-year study reported that eating 10 grams of soluble fiber per day was linked to a 3.7% reduction in the amount of fat in the abdominal cavity (28Trusted Source).
This implies that soluble fiber may be particularly effective at reducing harmful belly fat.
The best way to get more fiber is to eat a lot of plant foods, including vegetables and fruit. Legumes are also a good source, as well as some cereals, such as whole oats.
You can also try taking a fiber supplement like glucomannan. This is one of the most viscous dietary fibers, and studies suggest it can help with weight loss (29Trusted Source, 30Trusted Source).
It’s important to talk to your healthcare provider before introducing this or any supplement to your dietary regimen.
5. Exercise regularly
Exercise is among the best things you can do to increase your chances of living a long, healthy life and avoiding disease.
Helping to reduce abdominal fat is among the amazing health benefits of exercise.
This doesn’t mean doing abdominal exercises, as spot reduction — losing fat in one spot — is not possible. In one study, 6 weeks of training just the abdominal muscles had no measurable effect on waist circumference or the amount of fat in the abdominal cavity (31Trusted Source).
Weight training and cardiovascular exercise will reduce fat across the body.
Aerobic exercise — like walking, running, and swimming — can allow major reductions in abdominal fat (32Trusted Source, 33Trusted Source).
Another study found that exercise completely prevented people from regaining abdominal fat after weight loss, implying that exercise is particularly important during weight maintenance (34Trusted Source).
Exercise also leads to reduced inflammation, lower blood sugar levels, and improvements in other metabolic problems associated with excess abdominal fat (35Trusted Source).
6. Track your food intake
Most people know that what you eat is important, but many don’t know specifically what they’re eating.
A person might think they’re eating a high protein or low carb diet, but without keeping track, it’s easy to overestimate or underestimate food intake.
Tracking food intake doesn’t mean you need to weigh and measure everything you eat. Tracking intake every now and then for a few days in a row can help you realize the most important areas for change.
Planning ahead can help you achieve specific goals, such as boosting your protein intake to 25–30% of calories or cutting down on unhealthy carbs.
Check out these articles here for a calorie calculator and a list of free online tools and apps to track what you’re eating.
The bottom line
Abdominal fat, or belly fat, is linked to an increased risk of certain diseases.
Most people can reduce their abdominal fat through taking on key lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet packed with lean protein, vegetables and fruit, and legumes, and exercising regularly.

What is my body fat % and do you guys think i have enough mass to cut?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hZa0WTh.jpg?2[/img]
In fact, body fat rate is closely related to metabolic rate. People exercise their bodies to increase their basal metabolism levels, thereby increasing the rate of fat burning, achieving weight loss and body shaping. To achieve the desired body fat rate. I saw this tutorial by accident, which has certain reference significance. stfly.me/M0F27r

Feeling highly depressed and mentally unstable lately. A small part of it has to do with my fitness so I'm trying to get that on track now.

Mid-High 30's. TBH when your BF gets up there like that its pointless to put a number on it because thats not going to help you, you've obviously been there before and know what you need to do.

I'd say 19%

Agreed it did come across somewhat condescending. From someone who couldn’t even deadlift 20kg when I started, to now being able to do over 80kg. Defo have seen a difference physique wise. Even if it is still small to some people.

What's your waist measurement? I agree with faithbrah lol.
My first thought was 25-28% ish, it's always damn hard to be accurate at higher body fat percentages. There's a lot of muscle which can make some people look much leaner in pics than they actually are.
