    Body Fat %

    Hey guys, thought this seem fit. I have seen a couple of guys estimating their body fat % through these threads. Some I think more accurate than other. I came across this picture I added below which shows examples of different BF%. It seems to be quite accurate.

    Take a look and see for yourself...

    There is a sticky with this information. Includes descriptions and pics for men and gals. It is helpful to have the pics lacking any other means.

    Oh YA!!!! I like your pics better. When I look at these I estimate myself to be about 11 or 12 instead of 17-18! I am actually down a bit more this week.

    It's still very hard to tell since we all have different body type and hugely different amounts of LBM.

    Haha... It was actually your thread where you mention 22% bf or something like that, that prompted me to post this. Glad you saw it.

    Well done on your progress though. Keep up the good work. :-)

    I don't visit the nutrition forum to often. Saw the sticky there about an hour after I started the thread.

    If i could have helped 1 person a tiny bit with this, I am more that happy.

    But yes, the sticky as much more info.

    Agree 100%. But at least one can get an estimate.
