MT welcome to the forum man! bf guessing im n ot good at but would guess more than 20% based on the pic.. i suggest google bodyfat composition analysis in ur area.. also while ur at it read stickies at the top:

1. dieting 10 : cutting
2. tdee

I agree with 405, over 20, If I had to take a guess it's somewhere between 26-28% range, maybe even higher.

I'd prolly guess it at around 25-30%

why guess?

pry open that dusty wallet of yours and get yourself a set of BF calipers. the more check points, the better the read.

calipers are under $10 on amazon. then you can check the 9 places and your gtg..

op- welcome and get on a good diet program, there is so much to learn on this forum

I agree that you should get a caliper but my guess is 28-30. caliper is much more accurate than people guessing based on a picture though.

from my understanding calipers lose their accuracy once u get above 20%bf.. there is a machine called a "bod pod" that is the most accurate way to determine bf% (even moreso than calipers).. in ur case itd be the best approach to finding out IMO.. google it for ur area.. usually in a doc office.. cost about $35 US.. not bad..

Hey thanks guys. I will chek for a dokter to do it. I don't live in the USA. I live in the carribean. I think going to a dokter maybe the best for me. Now.
