You Might Be Fatter Than You Think! How To Tell Body Fat Percentage ACCURATELY

Having a body wasn't ideal, let alone body fat. I am now a celestial being.

As someone who used to be fat and is currently at the "Are those abs?" phase, I can assure anyone struggling with fat loss that the emotional rollercoaster of seeing aesthetic changes in the body is well worth it; keep pushing.

How the hell did that thumbnail make it past the YouTube police 😆

Im a guy and used to be anorexic. Im up to 140lbs around 10% body fat. Im still trying to gain weight, but im very happy with my progress. Your channel has been a big help.

Came for the thumbnail, came for the thumbnail.

34% body fat (100kg for 170cm). Decided to stop being fat and live longer (and sexier). <1500 calorie intake. 1h weight lifting 4-5 times a week. Lost 3kg in 10 days. Turned all my social media into fitness/weight lifting feeds. Reply here to know my progress. 14.02.2024: 100.4kg 23.02.2024: 97.5kg 15.04.2024: 94.1kg

Am 60 years old and have been lifting for decades now; this is one of the best body fat percentage visual signs explanation and delivery I've seen. Thank you, great video!!

You forgot about Coach Greg’s laser eyes being ranked slightly below the MRI but definitely ahead of the DEXA scan

As a woman, I got down to about 18% body fat and enjoyed my body there. Then I tried getting pregnant. For 10 months I could not get pregnant. Then I allowed myself to gain 3 lbs and got pregnant instantly. This experience taught me how much fat I needed for healthy hormone balance. For me, 15-20% wasn’t ideal, so I try to live in the 20-22% body fat range. It seems to work well for my long term health.

There’s literally no channel at this level. Such great scientific approach to all the posts you’re super awesome thank you.

The way he described being able to see Chicago from a distance was perfect and relatable for me 😂😂 I'm at around 17% body fat and you can kinda start to see my upper abs, he nailed the description

i would say over 95% of people under estimate how much bodyfat they actually carry. Dave Palumbo once said he has a whole lot of clients claiming they are losing leg muscle when they really start to diet. He explains to them that the legs often carry a lot more fat than people think and now you are actually seeing how much real muscle you actually had in your legs.

Dr Mike is an encyclopedia. Even his humour is pretty intelligent. Keep it up doc !

This was very helpful. Thank you Mike!

Super super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us!

As someone who used to be 290 pounds, got down to 160 (over many years) and now sitting at 175 and massing, it is so hard to tell my body fat percentage due to loose skin and just general body shape from being fat back in the day. Body dysmorphia to the next level

Ifbb pro womens physique here- I've never done a dexa or any other fat test, but the eyeball test by my coach and a judge said I was around 6%. I looked like death. My face was scary. My eyes looked crazy. It paid off, I guess, got 4th place in my last competiton, only my 3rd pro show. I was the smallest on stage, but my shape and conditioning put me in the top 5 against seasoned Olympians. Hoping next year I will qualify for olympia with a first place. My body is most comfortable at around 12-15%- I look good, I feel good.

Thumbnail is crazy

Amazing video Mike! Thanks for this! And all your other content.

20:00 - just to clear this up as I'm familiar with the Athlean X video, but it was debunking some myths about body fat and not advocating for a body fat that low. Jeff/Athlean X talks about how body fat percentage is dependent on you, your health, your preference, your ability to maintain it, or your sport (if applicable), with there obviously being healthier ranges to exist in than others. The main point being that there's no ideal "low" body fat for anyone, but the key is health and consistency.
