Bodyfat Estimation

[impact14]

Any insight on roughly where I may be at? Have I gotten to 20ish % based on these pics?

6'1.5" 208lbs down from 303lbs. I'm still dropping and plan to go until 185-190 and re-evaluate. Still all pretty new to me as a somewhat reformed really really fat person.

If possible also let me know what things you're using from the pictures to help draw your conclusion while I'm trying to learn more about estimating bf %

I know bodyfat % is a fun number to chase and estimate for yourself, but right now I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep doing what you are doing.

You are looking on the + side of 20%

I don't see any ab separation, your waist and back look fluffy, your pecs are smoothed over into your abdomen....

You are doing good coming down from 303

Keep it up dude

Unless a person wants to brag about being low, i don't see any real point in knowing one's body fat %. For years i use fat calipers so i could track things and get comparative number to see how i was going. When gaining muscle or losing fat. But if the real level was a few points higher or lower it didn't matter because people only care about how they look.

100% going off the mirror is realistic. If you aren’t competing and just a normal gym bro mirror + scale will tell you when to cut and when to bulk.

I also measured my waistline as that is where i get fat the most. If that area is growing much then i also know it is likley fat weight being gained. I would hold fat in my lower back. When competing once i got real lean and could see abs and veins i would still a bunch in my lower back. My waist at that point would shrink an inch for every pound i lost.
