What's my body fat percentage?
I started off last year (Around October 2016) at 215 pounds. Initially I did only cardio, as a result of which I lost a lot of muscle mass. As of now, I've stagnated my weight at 175 pounds (79kgs), but I'm skeptical about my body fat percentage, and whether I should be cutting more or bulking. I fear I would start to look thin and skinny If I go any less.
Present Weight : 175 pounds
Height : 6 feet
Age : 20 yrs
Can anyone help me in this regard?
P.S. I seem to have my arms very skinny near the elbow. I presently do barbell curls, preacher curls and hammer curls, and do biceps twice a week (One light day with legs/back and one full arms day which is kinda heavy). Also, I seem to have a lot of fat around my hip and thigh area. What are your views in this?
Thanks in advance.

About 18%
I'd say about 16%. Your thighs look okay. They don't have a lot of fat, IMO. They just don't appear to be very muscular.
I would lean bulk for about 6 months, aim for 2lbs weight gain each month and then cut. You should have more to work with.You can't help the hopeless.

^A bit hard to tell with the lighting. Appears to be more than 15% but less than 20%. Maybe 17%.

Height: 5'6
Weight: 178 (last weighed in June)
I decided to finally make a change with myself. Ive been slowly cutting junk food out and drinking more water. Im new to all of this so I'm constantly researching. I go to the gym about 5 hours a week with 30 minutes of weights (machine) and 30 min. of cardio. I will implementing HIIT cardio and focus a lot more on weightlifting. Here's my "diet" plan:
Calories: 1626 (this is on a 20% calorie deficit)
Protein: 163g
Carbs: 163g
Fat: 36g
Pictures will be in My BodySpace under progress photos. I would like to know what you guys think my bf % is! (Looking to cut down to about 23-25%) thank you!!

Assuming I'm around 15%
Love handles just ruin my physique
We always need a little kick in the arse.
Only flexing in one pic.
Thanks bros.
Terrible lighting lolFS/ S/ OHP/ B/ DL

I don't go to the gym anymore so above stats are useless.
Only do weighted calastentics in the comfort of my own home!

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 198
Age: 38
My personal trainer measured my body fat with a caliper two weeks ago at the abdomen, thigh and chest. He said I am at 23% body fat but stipulated I carried most of my fat in my abdomen and chest and have little to no back fat or fat in my thighs.
Looking at some of these other photos, I have a hard time believing I am 23%, that or I just have an ugly, frumpy body.
Can someone give their opinions?
Thanks. Current diet is 1500ish calories, macros 33/33/33 (under 100 grams of carbs) and i make the rest up in fat and protein. I say this because there is always fluctuation in my diet from day to day but i stick to this as best I can.
I am doing 4 days of HIIT body weight training. I feel like I am getting stronger and feel my shirts getting tighter in my arms and chest area and looser in the abdomen, but seeing as how some guys start to have a less flabby look at 20% body fat, I am starting to wonder(and, of course, feeling a little discouraged today).
Thanks everyone.Last edited by Quantumd0tz; 07-27-2021 at 09:40 PM.

Are you flexing in the photo? Looks around 11%. I'd say 10% if you were relaxed.
Thanks. There used to be more posters here.
I'd drop another 4kg.
I'd say about 27%. Calipers are more helpful when you're sub 20% (for males). You have about 30lbs to cut. 1500 cals is low. I'm cutting on more than that and I'm an 174lbs female.You can't help the hopeless.

Hey everyone. I posted the pictures in my gallery 5 months ago, and was given an estimate of 28% Body Fat at 205 lbs.
I've been cutting on 2,500 calories (clean foods, counted macros, no deprivation etc.) for the past 5 months, and am now weighing around 190 lbs.
The recent pictures are posted in my Gallery. You can see the old pictures as well.
I'm taking my time with this cut, because I started at 276 lbs (well above 30%), and I want as little loose skin as possible. I've also been obese my entire life so currently I'm the skinniest I've ever been.
What would you guys say my body fat % is now?
Weight: 190 lbs
Height: 6'2
