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

[Sam98372]

I’m currently sitting at 216, I’m 5’7 my DEXA scans all showed 23.5-24%, my bones weigh 7ibs hahaha but I would have fun seeing what everyone else thinks based off of my pictures on my profile.

I see. Thanks for the help!

Do you think I should bulk or I should keep going with the cut? I've lost 31 pounds on the last 5 months. It's just starting to get kind of boring with the calorie counting and such. My energy levels are pretty good, though. I think I can handle a few more months on the cut. My goal is to lose another 8 to 10 pounds and then I'll switch to bulk.

Personally I would be considering bulking very soon. If you are happy carrying on cutting a lose of 8-10lbs would probably get you near the 12% bracket maybe a touch less depending on what weight is water weight.

5 months cutting is quite a while for someone who isn't overweight so if you do decided to bulk I recommend a period of maintenance or reverse dieting in order to work your your new TDEE.

A frontal pic would have been more help instead of slightly side on but never mind. I would have put you higher at around 26% although you do have a solid amount of lean mass.

Thanks! That's very much in line with your assessment of 23-24% at 172lbs (130,72lbs-132,44lbs FFM) about a month ago vs 161lbs (128,8lbs-130,41lbs FFM).

I like number crunching so 0,31-3,64 FFM lost if you're accurate, meaning 2,8%-33,1% of the loss was FFM. Hoping it was the former rather than the latter lol. Considering that was a loss of 2,75lbs/week that's to be expected, I've increased calories this past week and slowed the cut down, hopefully next time it'll be better.

Current Height: 5'8''
Current Weight: 140 lbs.
Age: 27
Waist: 29''

I went from 200 lbs. in January 2018 to 135 lbs. in May 2019 (slow but steady calorie deficit). I lifted somewhat consistently all the way through.

In May I wanted to lose more weight but could not stay in a consistent deficit (I was hungry and tired of dieting).

Currently I am seeing a personal trainer who is prescribing/doing workouts with me. I do 4 days a week, 2 upper 2 lower days (which consist of 1st lift being squat, bench, overhead press, or deadlift all with barbell at 3x5, plus 4-5 related accessory lifts and core) plus a yoga and cardio day. My trainer is a power lifter. I told him I wanted an athletic body, since seeing him I have not stuck to my deficit, he said I was rail thin, I have eaten in a surplus some days not tracking, not sure what to do with my diet. He says its up to me. I want to be lean (not too lean though) and muscular. I feel a bit chunky now, I definitely feel more solid though, PT says I have lost BF% (he says from 24.9-22.5% I think). I am mostly happy with my weight loss, except a little of of stretch marks, stretchy skin, belly button frown.

Wondering what my current BF% is, also if anyone would want to give advice on either surplus or deficit calories. I am working hard in the gym and have 3 more months with this trainer, don't want any gains to not happen because I am in deficit, but also don't want to get chunkier. I want to cut down before summer and give myself plenty of time for that.

Thank you!

25% would be my estimate.

I would say your bulk has been a pretty good success you have gained 5lbs in 6 and a bit months which is pretty much on point for a female at 0.75-1lb a month. I would also say your bf% has gone down since your previous bf% estimate:-

https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...post1582146041

As to what you should do. It depends on when summer is where you are. You currently look good with a nice structured female physique therefore I would think you would need around 3 months to cut to get sub 20% if you lost 1lb a week. Therefore I would work back from there, if you plan to be summer ready by June (I am guessing you are North American) then 3 months back either February or March to start cut.

That means I would personally carry on at a very small surplus (around 150 calories) or maintenance calories until then aiming to do a small recomp or gain around 2lbs between now and March.

Thank you very much for the thorough advice and feedback, it is much appreciated! Nice to get an objective look, I agree with it all, too. I'll continue on in maintenance with some surplus days. Looking forward to the cut results this spring!

M 5'11" 171 lbs what am I at? Bulk or keep cutting a little more? Strength has gone up just a bit since starting cut a few months ago.

Near 13% would need to see with your arms down.

18% would be close estimate. Personally cut a bit more probably to 160lb then bulk.

Looking for an updated body fat estimate. Was previously suggested to be at 19-20% body at the peak of my bulk when I was around 90.4kg and was recommended to take about 14 weeks to cut down to around 77kg.

Been cutting for 7 weeks now after a maintenance phase. During this period I've dropped a total of 4.9kg at an average rate of 0.69kg per week and waist size has gone down by 10.7cm during this time.

Ultimately I'm wanting to get lean enough to able to see properly defined abs. So wanted to get a body fat estimate to see where I am sitting at currently, at half way into that 14 week cut to see if I need more weeks to cut or if I'm on track and should just keep things the same?

I am afraid to say it but I would believe that the previous pic was a tad under estimated on my behalf compared to these (no offence more of lighting)

https://imgur.com/a/83RFCYc

Due to the darkness you seemed a lot leaner then I estimated. I would say you are around 21-22% here in your current pic. So in order for you to have abs it will take longer then 7 weeks. As for a number most likely close to if not less then 70kg.

Darn I'm going to be tiny by the end of this cut lol.

But no worries at all about the underestimation. I shall continue to take my photos from this current angle and lighting then and check back in a month or so. I appreciate your feed back and advice as always!

Been cutting since 11/9, curious to see what I'm estimated at currently.

5'7", 168lbs. 30" waist, 14.5" neck, 32" hips if that helps. Was 176 prior. Dr. says I'm carrying 3-5lbs of loose skin (used to be >300).


Front/back/side attached. Keep cutting?

Based on your previous request (170lbs) I said 13-14%:-

https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...post1592482151

The lose of 2lbs puts you solid at 13%. As for cutting more you have the mass so completely up to you depends on your own goal.

I am 17 years old
5'5 and 125lbs (57kg)
I don't know what to do to. Cut down a little then go on a bulk. Or just continue bulking.
I have gained 7kg in about 2 months (had extreme hunger in an eating disorder recovery)

About 20%. At 17 I wouldn't bother with counting calories and eat to hunger.

I would stick around maintenance caloric intake which would be based on hunger cues and not getting stuffed. If you eat mainly nutritional food sources with a solid amount of protein and only a small amount of empty calories (80:20 is a decent ratio) you should be fine.

Based on your previous ED history I would seek further guidance from a trained professional if needed. And not get too hung up on the small details eat enough to maintain your hunger and weight whilst progressively overload on a balanced training program.
