I was wondering if, by using my profile picture anyone would be able to estimate my Body Fat %?

I am 5ft 10inches and weigh 150lbs - I am quite lean, and looking to add some mass right now, but am interested in knowing my BF% before I gain anything! :)

Many thanks and any help appreciated! :)

    You are quiet lean overall. I'd say no more than 15%.

    The only really accurate way to determine this is to get a body fat analysis which many gyms can help you with. We have that service at our gym which is free a couple of times per year.

    My guestimation for you via photo would be 15% +/- but there are some factors that could alter this. There are also some online body fat estimators that use only the measurements that you could do at home... Some include several points (wrist, forearm, waist, neck and hips for example) to estimate it... Many just use the waist measurement and will usually yield about the same as the others (for men... waist and hips for women).... If you want a pictorial guide to estimating this, follow this link...
