body fat percentage

[yamahar6]

Ok, so I don't have access to calipers. I did the bf measurement using a tape measure and imputed the measurement into the online calculator. Says I'm 16.6 which I don't believe. How accurate are these? I can give my measurements if needed to help clarify.

Thanks!

You are better off using this as a guide with a mirror to be honest. Best options would be a Dexa scan or bod pod.

Find a place that has an Inbody machine. It's pretty damn accurate and detailed for your entire body.

Don't know about you all but that 30% woman is looking just about right.

Eww... that's unhealthy for a woman and WAAAAAAAAAY too much extra cushion... healthy natural (un-enhanced) woman should be no more than 24-25%, over that is overweight... that picture is misleading.

Well whatever her bf is she looks great! Of course everyone has different tastes and I'm sure many men and women would disagree with my likes.

It's not as much liking or disliking how she looks.... it's just unhealthy

I think "healthy" is a very subjective word GG. Especially in the BB world. I totally hear what you are saying, having too much excess fat isn't healthy. But neither is pumping ones body full of hormones or exercising to the point of over exhaustion to look "healthy".

I agree.

I mean we fucking use hormones and do (unhealthy diet most of the time) just to look good.
We are the last ppl that should talk.

Especially when it's not really that fat being 30% of bf, especially for a woman.

Im the first one that loves a 15-16%bf woman but sure as hell that shit is not healthy
