Examples of Body Fat % for men. With Pics
Replies

Side by side both have the same percentage of body fat...Sure one may weigh less than another but they are both as "fat" as each other.
For some it is still a matter of asthetics. But it is interesting to see it side by side...
Woah... thigh gap...0 -
I know that at age 50 I'm gonna have to work hard but I want to be in the 12-15% range. Just for once in my life, lol.0

I have seen threads like this before but they are always interesting. The amount of work that goes into building muscle and getting/staying lean is hard for a lot of people to understand. It also makes the case for why it is sooo important to maintain as much muscle as possible while losing weight.
Men and women losing muscle that may takes years to regain when they could have just altered their program to keep it in the first place.
Great point! My *main* worry in losing weight is for any of my muscle to go with it.0 -

Thank you :-)0 -
Nice to hear how horribly strict you gals are. Kind of sucks for us guys that are never going to be able to hit 10%.
Oh boo hoo, not every woman on the planet is going to find you attractive at any given point of time.0 -
Damn I wish there was a picture between 17-20% because i am definitely smaller thant 20 and definitely larger than 15-17% picture. MANNNNNN
Tbh - you will not look like either. There is a huge variation depending on distribution of BF and the amount of LBM.0 -

Your bitterness is showing through yet again.0 -
Lets see how long this takes before the body shaming comes along!0

Women should be more flexible with their standards. Any woman who can stand a guy who doesn't have a perfect body is just a *****.0 -
Body fat percentage is really nothing to consider without some sort of muscular foundation with it. The lower body fat percentages shown here happen to have guys with great muscle.
A picture, showing 1 guy at varying body fat stages while maintaining the same lean body mass would be a better comparison.
Exactly.... the pictures look SOOOO much better than I do at the same bf%.
Except for the super-low-fat ones. Those are just gross.
Actually - too late. The body shaming already started!0 -
3-4% is VASCULAR THAN A M***********
I wish there were a good example of these for women.
You can thank steroids for that person's appearance.0 -

Sorry, should have added, "in my opinion."0 -

I would think so. I don't understand the point at all.0 -
I vote for 15 on guys, 25 on girls. Me, I'm still 30, a few pounds to go to get where I want.0

No, you should have added that they are not your preference. There is no difference between saying 'those are gross' and 'in my opinion those are gross'0 -
Hellooo motivation! Thanks for posting, especially the female version!0

Oh, sorry for saying it wrong. It never occurred to me that the word preference would be less offensive than the word opinion.0 -

It can be done. I've hit 13% a couple times over the past year.0 -

Its the word gross that its the problem here not preference v opinion0 -
that was a stupid post...nobody quote me before I delete it...0

The female chart is a bit chitty tbh
a lot of the women in the higher %'s have big breasts, and hips. with bf % levels that would look nowhere near as good on a women with a different frame.0 -
Mmm, 12%-25% is alllllllright with me.0
-
Right, the female pic is posted on here a lot and it's very silly. Body fat % does not look the same on all women, there are so many different factors.0

So I shouldn't say, "My preference is men who aren't gross?" :laugh:
OK, I give up, Sara. You win. I will no longer offer my opinion about what I think is sexy. I'm happily married anyway, so my opinion on men is pretty irrelevant anyway. (Note to self. Stay out of chit-chat forums on those "rate the poster" threads.)0 -
