Rough estimate of a friends bodyfat%

**Windex** · 08-22-2011, 11:44 AM

I don't know if this is enough information but a friend of mine is trying to lose weight so I'd figure to try and lend a hand however I have no idea what her bodyfat% might be to calculate her TDEE. She is 5"2, 165 lbs and her measurements are 36DD - 30 - 37

ANY possibility of getting a pic? I know this is especially tough with girls - but even a fully clothed pic so we can get an idea of her frame and where/how she carries her bodyfat. I really don't see anybody being able to estimate bodyfat based on just numbers alone.

I think I'd be better off trying to win the lottery. Her measurements and stats are more or less what I have to work with. She's obviously busty and the rest of the fat is in the stomach/thighs. She use to be extremely active but went downhill due to a variety of reasons. She carries minimal fat in the lower legs and arms/shoulders/face I would say. Most of it is in her chest/thighs/butt.
