What is your % body fat?

[djplayer]

I was 7% in the summer of 07. I would probably assume right now I'm at approx 12%. I purposely add approx 10lbs during the winter to gain a little mass then drop it right around this time of the year. I do run approx 4-10 miles per day though. Run several 1/2 marathons per year.

Mine has gotta be way high. Never had it checked out though. Probably around 30%.

15%! I was actually kind of disappointed (was shooting for 10%)... well this makes me only want to work harder! Beware fat, your end is near.

Not really working harder but eating cleaner and doing cv/ hit 3-4x a week

mines about 12% at a guess, leaner then before and lighter. The scales are only good for tracking any changes and not for a base line. This much like most scales, they are not that accurate and do you weigh yourself with cloths onor just your boxers? First thing in the morning or after breakfast? Etc

Just did one of those online estimators. Probably quite inacccurate. It said my BF % is 25.8, lean body mass of ~167lbs. Is that even realistic for a 5' 10" 21 y/o male? I don't consider myself particularly strong and I rarely lift.

Why wouldn't that be realistic? Your body has to have muscle. You're a bigger fellow, so you're gonna have more muscle than some. That's probably fairly accurate to some degree.

 

[snacks]

probably too much to mention here.

 

[DyslexicHobo]

An embarassing 25% measured senior year, and probably more now that I don't have gym class anymore and eat like crap in college.

Jesus... if that is 7% I must be made out of Crisco.

p.s. I am donating my hair too! (18-20" )

 

[bobsmith1492]

6% last time I was measured (midst of marathon training, ~30 miles/week)

You're right. I think I just manage to carry most of my excess weight in the midsection. Working on getting that off...

 

[azilaga]

6-7%. It's mostly from running.

 

[RagingBITCH]

In January I was down to 148lbs, 5'10". I would have estimated about 9-10%. (Could see abs all the time, vascularity was pretty good to the point that everyone at work noticed) Now I'm up to about 163lbs, I'm assuming I'm probably around 12%.

 

[indamixx99]

About 12-14%. Haven't been doing much cardio lately, just weights.

 

[ManBearPig]

150%

 

[MegaVovaN]

Estimated 11-12%.
Can see abs there, though not clearly cut. Also can spot big veins (on arms for example).

I am starting to bulk up though (got in weight lifting, eating good) - but I still do cardio 3-4 days a week. 30 min run or 90 min HIIT bike.

thought this self test was interesting:

Says I have about 10%. I don't think that is true so but I am pretty hard on myself. I said an estimate before of like 16-18% but that is probably too high considering everyone calls me too skinny. I am just grossly out of shape now from what I used to be. Most of that is muscle loss though not fat gain.

Also states healthy african americans should have lower fat % and asians higher, on average. Hmm... I don't know where they base that.

i donated mine through pantene: http://www.beautifullengths.com/en_US/index_home.jsp

growing out my hair was crap, i've always had short hair, my hair wasn't meant to be long, it's stubborn and wavy and thick and annoying, etc etc

Nice sash1. I had mine like neck length then I started putting it in a pony tail. I just figured I might as well keep growing it and donate it. That was 2 years ago and my hair grows like a weed lol... I actually had it appraised at around $700-1000 (by 2 hair stylists/owners). Apparently I have the best kind of hair for wig making (thick, long, black, straight, untreated).

Hey sash1, what does that self test I posted say for your %? You have pics so its a good comparison.

 

[Golgatha]

18% down from 20.5% about 4 months ago.

 

[ViperVin2]

14% @ age 23, 5' 9"

uhhh, this can't be right, but:

You have 3% body fat.

You have 3.9 Pounds of fat and 126.1 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

You are on the verge of dieing.

According to that calculator anyway.
