Hi guys can you estimate my body fat % please? I was 95kg at Christmas but decided to lose weight so did a really strict diet and lots of cardio etc and now I'm 61kg which is 9st 8lb, I can still pinch a bit of fat on my sides and stomach so I need to lose a bit more fat, my ideal goal weight is 9 stone but will it not take that long to lose the last bit of fat? I'm aiming for 0.5lb a week how much do you think I should lastly lose now? Thanks

    You look unhealthily thin, you shouldn't be trying to lose more weight

    But I can still grab a bit of fat? Am I skinny fat or not skinny fat? Am I normal? What % do you think I am? Thanks

    Definitely not skinny fat, just skinny skinny

    That's great thank you I'm glad I'm not a skinny fat. What body fat % do you think I am? I've still got a bit of fat I can grab/pinch that I'd like to lose? My goal weight was 9 stone though to be honest so I think I'll have this fat gone by the time I reach 9 stone right?

    I would guess you are 10-12%, ribs and abs are not readily visible, but some muscle definition is apparent...if I were going to design your workout to make you into something I want to look at, then I would have you lift some weights and try to gain some muscle because you have a very slender small boned build and could use a little more bulk...but that's just me and I'm not in charge of your fitness goals, so whatever makes you happy...

    It's not possible to even give a vague estimate from those shots

    I'm pretty sure this has been said before you need

    Full length, face on, side on, natural light
    Flexed and unflexed

    And even then it will just be a guesstimate

    Really 10%-12% wow? I thought I was about 14%? My abs are slightly visible under lighting? The bit of fat that I can grab/pinch should I lose this? Do you think I should cut to about 9st 5lb so just lose another 3lb of fat which will take me 6 weeks then how would I go about adding muscle without gaining fat?

    Would a body recomp be good or what? Also how would I go about getting my abs fully visible without bulking, I'll need to cut that last bit of fat wouldn't I?

    There is a difference between being able to pinch fat and pinch skin, you know ...

    What do you mean? It's definitely fat because it's hard and flab, I believe skin is like sandpaper? I don't know though. But I'd like to lose the last bit of it?

    That was andrew someone. But the pictures are similar. OP, aren't you bothered that you're being mistaken for someone with an eating disorder?

    Honestly I think you look skinny from those shots but it is almost impossible to tell because they are close cropped, tilted and do not look flexed or unflexed

    Maybe ready for a bulk cycle?

    Lift at a small surplus and lift heavy. Stop worrying about being able to pinch a bit of skin, everyone can do that.

    How do I have a eating disorder? I'm happy with my body but I can still grab a bit of fat on my sides and a small bit on my belly, I'm 9st 8lb now and I would have 3lbs gone by end of September which would bring me to 9st 5lb would that lose that last bit of fat? I just think 9 stone would be way to skinny and I'm just scared I'll drop below 9stone and that's when health problems will start.

    So 9st 5lb the end target? Then how would I go about adding muscle? Would a body recomp work or a slow clean bulk without too much fat gain and lift heavy?
