Body fat estimate please.

10%? That low? I would have thought I was maybe 13% and was trying to cut down to 10% based on what I think a dexa 10% would look like.

Would like to get a quick read too.

Based on the link, I would say you are in the 10-13% range. Probably more 11-12% (I don't think you quite hit 10%, but are...

I was down to about 100g of carbs at one point, and definitely was flat and depleted. Not so bad now (with 100g more carbs), but I am not the size I was before. So it is hard for me to say...

So cutting and have INCREASED calories to about 2150, and still losing about 1.25-1.5 lbs/week. Eating between 175-200g of carbs a day. After I finish the cut, and finish the reverse diet, and go...

I guess my question is what constitutes loss of strength indicative of muscle loss? Was my calorie count too severe (lifting 3 days a week and cardio of 2 hours a week). How much muscle loss damage...

Well this is over the space of about 3 weeks. On leg curls I have lost 2 reps on my last set. Otherwise I have either lost a rep off a set (lat pull down, ez bar curls, incline Db bench). Stayed the...

I have lost 1 rep overall on some of my exercises (but weight is the same). Gained a rep or two on some. And added weight on a few.

Worried about burning lean body mass. Weight loss has averaged...

Follow an established weight lifting program for beginners and do not deviate. It will have you lift weights (likely) 3 days a week, maybe 4. Do 20 minutes of cardio on your off days if you want to...

It sounds like you are not keeping a precise count of calories so you are speculating. 1200 is VERY low to be at a plateau. I suspect you are eating way more than you think.

Have been cutting for the past month. I hope I gain back a bunch of water weight, to reflate my muscles. Look like a complete n00b now.

Yes it does. It also targets visceral fat (muscle fat and around the abdominal organs), which calipers won't pick up. It simply isn't measure the same things. 20%+ on DEXA could easily be 15%...

Track ALL CALORIES, including cooking oil, sauces, alcohol, etc. If you aren't losing any weight, you are eating at or above your maintenance level, and/or you aren't counting your calories properly...

Wow. Interesting. Thanks. I wouldn't do it again. So far, I have lost 12-13 lbs. But I lost a ton of water the first week or two (7-8 lbs if I had to guess). And no I am not fat, as I am 6'1",...

Take it day by day. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend anybody do a DEXA scan unless they were entering a physique contest and really wanted to sculp their body. All it does is freak people out and...

The technician who did mine told me she had a guy come in. Was calipered at 12% BF by his nutritionist. Came in at 27%. I asked if he looked really fat, and she said no he looked normal/muscular. ...

^This.

If you are not very closely tracking your calories, then I would start there. Figure out what your TDEE (maintenance level of calories is), and go from there.
