Body Fat percent - visuals

CLFrancois

I loved this and hope that others will find it valuable when trying to get to their goal.

Ohhh wow 3-4% fat on that guy is scary looking...

CLFrancois

I agree. Scary. But whatever floats their boat.
I just was surprised reading another thread, I think sometimes people have a warped idea of what 30% fat looks like and also, say, 10%.

thanks for posting this.I think I would like to be 30% to 22% body fat. I do think the 35%- 40 % girls have great bodies though. It's how fit you are under the fat sometimes. The 10 % guy, eww (just my personal preference) I would be wrapped if my husband had the 25% body. Looks strong still lol

I_Will_End_You

Very interesting, and it does help with setting goals. Looks like I want about 17%!

bump for reference

aiming for 20%

It's not an entirely fair representation because you can take two twins even with the same body fat, but one could just be lean like a skeleton and one could be jacked and still be at the same %'s

KatieSChaisemom

I'd like the 15-17 %

Thankyou

I look like the 35% but my calculated is 28% hmm i thought i'd be less than that.

I look more like 25% but mine was measured 34%..

I have 23% of bodyfat and I look worse than the 25% picture. Oh well...

Thanks for posting this! I've seen it before but I often refer back to it. It's useful to see what the different %s actually look like. I'd find it even more useful if there were more pictures with different body types. I didn't look like Ms 50% when I had her fat % (or higher) because she has a different body type to me. And it would also be useful to have pictures of people with higher fat percentages. (I started at 57% and couldn't find anything that fitted).

Great post, bump to re-read later

OH that first guy is FOUL! I like Mr 10-12%!! I'd like to be 25% girl - that looks just right to me.

Whitezombiegirl

This is great and looks quite accurate to me. I'm 22% now and would love to be about 17-18%

Funnily enough I find the fourth male and the fourth female to be the 'ideal'. But I that could be because rank 2 lower (or is that 2 higher lol.)

Fivefeetjo

Thanks for posting this! I want to reduce my body fat percentage to 15 %!

Brads2ndLife

Glad to hear positive comments about 25% on men. Was thinking he still looked a bit chubby and I needed to aim for 15. (says the dude currently at 40%)

Like the scales bodyfat doesnt always tell the whole story........

DulceDollie

This WAS interesting! Thanks for posting.

All depends on genetics and also how fit you are...

jiggy_gibby

25%-30% female forms looks best to me! Male 25% as well...

avielosesit

This is so interesting. It seems like the women in the pics have proportionate body shapes and work out (so even in cases where there is extra weight, there is muscle and shape).

Right now I am 31% bf and look somewhere in between the 30 and 35 ladies. I am aiming to get to 25.

Thanks for this!!

15 % for men = yummy for me
15% - 17% for women = my wish for myself

jc1961AA

Aiming for 15%, would love 10-12% but without being a defeatist, I don't think I would be able to achieve that. Great post

Yikes! That 3 - 4% guy looks like he has cutaneous larval migrans!! (A very unpleasant condition caused by certain intestinal parasite :sick: )

emergencytennis

What is the source for those photos? I am between Ms 25 and Ms 30, and my breasts have never looked like that. I am Ms Dubious.
