The concept of a CSI team and a homicide detective trying to put together why a bunch of morbidly obese people died of heart attacks was a good start. Fist-fighting hamburger men was a fair if unexpected conclusion.

The body fat measurements those things give you are wildly inaccurate and unreliable anyway and influenced by all sorts of extraneous factors, best to just not use it at all. TBH anything short of a proper sports-lab analysis using a sit-in pod or a full body scan of some sort is going to be pretty unreliable if you're looking for an exact number

I heard the calliper method is the most reliable low tech way of estimating body fat. Not sure how reliable, but sure to be cheaper than a frigging immersion tank.

Did the 60 day program at my gym, started that in May and just got my final weigh in. Lost 12 pounds, anywhere from 4-8% of body fat judging by how variable the scale there has been every week. Pretty satisfied with that tbh, it was just a fun thing to do while I kept losing weight anyways. Squatted 275x5 today

Just so people know today I started Huel and it doesn’t taste half bad. No farts or stomach aches. It tastes like oatmeal. I did have cravings for solid food but resisted the urge. Had it for breakfast and lunch and dinner had some chicken breast and vegetables.

My new scale says I’m 172 pounds at 5’6”. Wanna get down to about 155 if i can. Wish me luck

Just buy oatmeal, add protein powder once it's cooked, and take a multivitamin. It'll be like 1/4 the price.

even bod pods aren't that accurate, they can be off by 5% or more

just look at internet pictures of people at various body fat percentage reference points for an idea of where you're at

That's a high quality avatar right there.
My first big chunk of weight loss was a out seven years ago when I went from 240 lbs down to 190. Since then I've had some ups and downs with the weight, but have gotten myself down to 180. My recent goal has been to get down to 170 and put myself into a healthier bmi bracket.

A couple of months ago I went hard with carb cutting and was feeling good. Got down to 175 pretty fast. Then I got an infection that totally stopped me from going to the gym for like 6 weeks. Two weeks ago I got married. I'm off this whole week taking a little vacation and going to cookouts. Got family visting. Just basically eating all drat day. Timing of that infection was awful. Got no one to blame but myself though. I've been too pissed off to even get on the scale. I'm definitely above 180 again. Back to work in a couple of days so hopefully I'll get back into the gym routine and get back the progress I just lost.

Really frustrating, but just got to do what you got to do.

I do bfr measurements with calipers on people as part of my job. you can't do them on yourself, and if you're not trained you're not going to find the right places to measure. for instance the tricep skinfold requires a measurement with a tape measure from the olecranon to the acromion, marking, pulling the skinfold and measuring for 4 seconds with a certified caliper. repeating 3 times and taking an average, and you do have to take an average because it's always +-half a mm

you're right, people should just use a mirror and look up pictures.

sorry if this is an "unpopular" or "not trendy" opinion, but I don't think you should be recommending phrenology for weight loss.

Quoth the Raven "I love the power glove. It's so bad..."
im quitting alcohol this month, and maybe next month too. ive been weight lifting for awhile, and ive changed my diet, but havent really lost any weight in the last several months. i look less fat, but id like to become thin. im upping the cardio to 4x a week, and typically stay under the calorie limit in my fitness pal (unless i was drinking, which is one of the reasons im quitting).

ive tried IF, but some days im at the gym @ 7 (consume protein powder) and dont get home until 8. im already carrying lunch to work and gym stuff so id prefer to not carry dinner, not that id have a place to cook/eat it. Any ideas? Also MFP says I should consume 1400 cal for where i'd like to be, but a lot of you guys seem to be around that number and are much taller than me. Should i eat less than 1400?

Have you tried keto? It seems pretty bananas to me so far. I've lost like 20 pounds already and I'm not even at the 2 week mark. Only just resumed lifting yesterday too

Nah I feel pretty good. I'm gonna guess at least half of it is water obv, 10 of it dropped off within the first two days or so, but I'm counting it goddammit

You always lose around 10 when you start keto, carbs make you retain a lot of water.

Pretty fat now, I'd guess like 30-35% eyeballing it :( but I'm eating what feels like a lot, just shitloads of eggs and meat and avocados. It's actually pretty difficult to overeat now after cutting carbs and sugar even if I actively try

Also I guess I should probably add a disclaimer that I still have a decent amount of muscle mass left over from the old swole days so my resting metabolism is prob a little higher than somebody starting from total scratch, but the person I was originally responding to said they were lifting and doing cardio regularly so idk

I thought eggs were around 70 or 80 apiece? But either way, that is a lot of fuckin eggs lol, you must be farting all over the place.

I get why keto is good but people on it always seem to eat the blandest stuff and idk why.

The box said 60. They burn strangely clean when that's all you eat. Not really doing keto, just high protein low calorie. Sriracha says 0 calories so I leave that off. Probably 20 calories more in that stuff.

150 cal / 11g protein / sausage egg white pita thing .83 cents
70 cal / 170 grams baby carrots .25 cents
120 cal /12g protein / 2 eggs .15 cents each x2 - .30 cents
--------------------------
$1.38 for 340 calories and 23g protein so far today. I could save more money using unprepared carrots/sandwich etc but whatever I'm not that poor yet. I try to stay around 800 calories when trying to lose weight. The apocalypse is coming, getting lean.
