To ask what your % body fat is?

[BasinHaircut]

depending on where you look ‘normal’ is between 21-31% apparently.

I thought mine would be quite low but still within normal. But I’ve just done it and it’s 30%!

I dread to think. Probably 180%

I've gained a lot of weight in the past few months and look like a space hopper on stilts.

No idea, how do you find out?

how do you find out?

No idea.

I put on a lot of weight after starting prozac and I don't think knowing the exact % will be at all helpful.

We have a fancy machine at work where you hold the handles and it tells you.

Was 12-14%
Not bad for an over 40s woman and why I could be 68kg but still only a size 8
After a year of ill health it is now 42% (weep).

17%

15.5% but it used to be 29%

30%. My bmi is just obese at 30 but I have a higher percentage of muscle than the average person according to the fancy gym scales. I do lift a lot of weights.

But yes I do need to get my fat down while continuing to increase muscle.

13%. Male 60yo

Mines is 23% at a size 10, i work out most days too

Those machines are notoriously inaccurate. A dexa scan is the best thing to do to measure.

Got a bad feeling mine is around 40%. (I am on a diet )

Less than 20% body fat for a woman is very low. Between 20% and 25% would be pretty good. You need the body composition scan to tell you that with any accuracy, the machines at the gym are helpful but not if you're serious about your training.

23, my metabolic age is 18. Tbf I’m only 23 and my muscles put on mass v easily. My DP was 17% and Metabolic age of 14!! He’s a 23yo man!

I’m guessing 90.

Sorry meant to say 23% at the beginning. I also don’t exercise though with the impressive % above I feel I should take up running so I can keep up!

I did this once at the gym and mine was 29/30 I think. My BMI is normal and I eat well (mostly) and exercise so not sure why it's so high. They did say my muscle was quite high also though which surprised me.

Mine is 22% last measured on one of those things 2 months ago. I am 5ft 2, 65kg and work out for an hour a day. Kickboxing, bootcamp, HIit, Tabata. I also have cut down my portion sizes so I eat off a child's plate. If I want a toast, I have mini breads, not full size.

All the women in my family are apple shaped and seem to put on weight round the middle v easily despite active lifestyles/healthyish diets so maybe it's partly genes. Well that's what I tell myself anyway

Late 40s, 'only' 8 1/2 stone, fit and quite muscular, but my fat level is 30%! I do like my carbohydrates a lot more than my proteins!!

This is quite interesting because I'm the same height, but more than 10 kilos lighter, yet 30% fat. How does that work?

26.6%. Apparently I should be 12.3% for my age

Dread to think.

Possibly around 99%
