Can y’all help estimate my body fat percentage and whether i am obese?

FAMGM:
It’s virtually impossible to do by eye.

Assuming you’re of average muscle mass, your BMI is 42, and your “healthy” weight is around 189 lbs.

Therefore, you’re 123 lbs overweight, son!

On the basis that a “healthy” weight involves a BF% of no more than 19% (37.8 lbs of fat at 189 lbs), you’ve theoretically added an extra 125 lbs of fat (162.8 lbs total).

Assuming all of that is accurate, your body fat percentage is 51.59%.

Thanks! So pretty much could you tell by my gut if I have more or less abdominal fat than normal? And whether it’s severe obesity?


You're a pot bellied man, and your stomach looks firm. Of course you have more abdominal fat than normal.

Also, these questions are best answered by a medical professional. Barring that, there are special scales that do body scans. Get one of those.
