On my old blog, I did a video post on the topic of body fat percentage. It was incredibly popular and still receives high visits to this day. A problem some people had with it was:
a) It is a video, not a blog post
b) too long in length
What I want to do with this post is provide you with a comprehensive picture gallery of various body fat percentages in men and women. In short, I am providing you the video in a post form, with a few changes and updates.
What is the measurement of body fat percentage?
Put simply, the measure of body fat percentage is assessing what percentage of your body is made up of fat. The opposing percentages are organs, water, muscle tissues, etc.
What are the methods of measuring body fat percentage?
There are quite a few methods of measuring body fat. The most popular methods are the following:
1. Skinfold Measurement (Skin Pinch)
2. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (Handheld/Scale Deviced)
3. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (Dexa Scan)
4. Height and circumference methods (Measurement Collections)
5. Hydrostatic Testing (Underwater Density Test)
Pic 1
Of all these tests, it is a general consensus the DEXA scan (pic 1) provides the most accurate results you can achieve beyond doing an autopsy. Knowing the exact body fat percentage while living is very difficult. There are many cons to the different types of measurement. Water is usually the leading deceiver of body fat readings in all methods.
When we look at the error factors of these methods, we see pictures can be used as much as anything else.
Do we need to know our body fat percentage?
Technically there is no need to know our body fat percentage. While our body fat percentage can provide insights into our health status, simply knowing doesn’t do much to change things. Knowing merely provides amusement, motivation, or a harsh dose of reality.
What is the minimum body fat percentage for human beings and how do we decrease it?
There is currently no definitive answer for what is essential body fat. Looking at research though we assume a range of 5% for men and 12% for women is landing in the essential range. For hormonal and reproductive reasons women need to store a higher level of body fat than men.
To decrease body fat, you need to take part in a deficit based program. If looking for more information on this you can use the Fat Loss Troubleshoot.
What do different body fat percentages look like?
As I discussed, the level of accuracy on body fat levels is difficult even with machine use. Still, there is something to be said for photography hints towards varying body fat levels at lower levels of body fat. Is it possible to use pictures to estimate body fat percentages? I think it is as relevant as other basic methods. How can we utilize pictures to determine a rough estimate for body fat pictures? See below.
Male Body Fat Percentages By Picture
There are various tell-tale signs of body fat levels for men and women. If we look at the lean body mass of a muscled skeleton and compare it to a human counterpart, it shows up quickly how close to low body fat level they are. If you consider the skeleton model to be 0% body fat then you merely take the male model in this picture and determine how close they are in relation. A big part of this is not only knowing where body fat is low, but at what level it generally leaves.
Looking at the diagram above for the male, we see clearly defined chest striations (1), serratus anterior (2), upper abdominals (3), and quadriceps (4). For men, generally speaking these are going to be the last areas for fat to be lost. People generally claim much lower body fat percentage than they should. If you look at some of these percentages below, think about comparing them to the muscled skeleton and it starts to make more sense as to why they are at higher body fat levels than you once might have thought.
Lowest body fat and possible comparison to skeletal muscle.
You can start to see loss of definition as levels increase
After 30% there is really no need to attempt visual estimations
Female Body Fat Percentages By Picture
Females follow a lot of the same rules as males do with a few slight alterations. Lower body fat levels can really be registered by taking notice of their face (1) chest seperation, (2) glutes (not shown), iliacus/quad, (3) and breasts (4).
*Woman pictured is likely on steroids and is flexing*
These pictures give you a more accurate look at varying body fat levels and percentages in female.
Lowest body fat and possible comparison to skeletal muscle.
You can start to see loss of definition as levels increase
After 30% there is really no need to attempt visual estimations
Does everyone look alike at the same body fat percentage?
No, not at all. Body fat percentage isn’t an indicator of your amount of lean body mass. The amount of muscle you hold on your body is going to make a significant difference in your overall look. What is the right look? This is up to personal preference and program design. This post isn’t about judgment, but more so a definition of the difference between the two.
Take these two males in the picture below. Both are roughly at 10% body fat. As you can see, there is a noticeable difference in their looks and muscle composition. Again, this isn’t about judging, but simply stating a noticeable physical difference. The man on the left has a good 15 more pounds of muscle than the guy on the right.
The females pictured below have very similar style body, but with a dramatic difference in muscle mass. The woman on the left has roughly 8-10 more pounds of muscle over the female on the right. What this comes down to is a collection of genetics, training lifestyle, and dieting down methods. If looking for the utmost muscle retention or possible increase in a deficit, you can use a training program like OPT Remix. It is based on a cycling nutrition program with strategic strength and aerobic programming.
There are also other variables and factors to take into consideration when looking at body composition. One of the main factors is carbohydrate and water manipulation. I discuss in detail how to manipulate both in the Water Manual. Water manipulation or advanced super-compensation techniques can have dramatic differences on your appearance. The 15% woman on the left is likely utilizing those techniques. It is often done by bodybuilders and figure competitors.
Closing point
As you can see body fat percentages range and methods for measurement vary. You can also see training will greatly affect what you look like at various body fat percentages. Any questions? If you want to know what I think your body fat percentage is, you can join in on the forum discussion in the private forums.
Leigh, as usual, great post. I do like the post format vs. the video format.
I like it in that it gives folks a good visual reference for estimating body fat percentage without going through the process of calipers or underwater weighing (or even using a calculator). Look in the mirror, look at the picture, which one is a close match, estimate, move on. Focus on taking action to move to the next picture down.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Ben
Thanks and good point of view.
This is bookmarked and will be used as a reference to so so so many people who have no idea body fat percentege means. Excellent post Leigh, thank you.
Appreciated Eric.
Wow, very cool post! I have been looking for something just like this. Now can we submit our own?
Like I said, you are more than welcome to submit in the forums. I don’t know how much time I have to do it right now to people sending them in but perhaps I could work out a follow-up post.
Thanks Leigh, as always very informative. You hear people talk about % all the time but it makes heaps more sense when you have visual aids.
Welcome.
What-Up Leigh!
I’ve recently had a sharp wake up call. Whilst on my undergrad using hydrostatic weighing and skinfold i measured around 23%, not great but passable for my goals.
Then a few weeks ago on my postgrad we did skinfold again 19%, the tester was reasonably inexperienced so i took it with a pinch of salt but bioelectirical impedance measured me as 24%. Again i can live with this for now because i’ve been training for a weightlifting comp so body comp has not been my goal.
But then we used a DEXA scan. It came out as 36%!!! I weigh 235lbs at 5ft 9inches so thats a good amount of fat on me according to this. Looking at the photos and being very honest with myself i would say i’m between the guy with 20 and 25% BF. I know DEXA is meant to be a reliable test, what do you think about it all? Has been a major blow for me, i don’t mind sitting around 20% But 36% is awful!!!
Well this strongly depends on your training level so let’s look at it like this.
At 5’9 it is typical that the average trainee (a few years of training under their belt, hasn’t been massively sedentary their entire life) to see their abs around 150-155lbs. Like I said this varies depending on trainees but from what I have seen, this is a good base compass. If that is roughly in the area of 9-12% depending on LBM for men…start to do the math of where you are at. Means roughly 70lbs of fat loss till your could get to that point.
This formula comes from Tom Venuto
Example:
You are male
Your weight: 235
Your body fat: 36%
Your fat weight: 84lbs (36% of 235 lbs)
Your lean mass: 151 lbs. (total weight – lbs. of fat)
Your target body fat percentage: 12% (.12)
Determine your percentage of lean mass at your target body fat by subtracting your
desired body fat from 1: (1 -.12 = .88)
Divide your current lean mass by your percentage of lean mass at your target body fat
percentage to yield your ideal weight: (151/.88 = 171
Thus, your ideal weight at 12% body fat is 171 lbs.”
So I stated roughly 70lbs of fat lost to get to a point of possible Abs show. This Formula states based off of the Dexa roughly 64lbs lost to get to 12% body fat.
I say 70lbs is what you are looking at, from there adjust depending on goals (if abdominal showing is even a goal.).
Thanks for that Leigh, interesting stuff. I’ve been training for about 7/8 yrs now and compete in olympic weightlifting so my training age is good. My target has always been strength and performance in rugby, but now i don’t play rugby and just concentrate on the lifting i’m considering giving dieting seriously and focussing on fat loss a go for the first time. Its never been a goal of mine (i think partly because my body type makes it easier to get big and strong than lose weight) but i fancy a change!
Thanks again
Thanks, great to have the “condensed” version (but I do like the video!) to refer to!
You rock as always!!
Thank ya missy
Leigh, were the people pictured in this blog post measured via DEXA scan?
No, the purpose of this post is the discussion and use of body fat estimations by pictures. IN no way is it saying it is a definitive number but it is an educated guess based on the things I demonstrated. Like I said “Of all these tests, it is a general consensus the DEXA scan (pic 1) provides the most accurate results you can achieve beyond doing an autopsy. Knowing the exact body fat percentage while living is very difficult.”
Thanks for clarifying, Leigh. I was wondering because I am 27% body fat according to the BodPod (supposedly very accurate?) and I look far leaner than the 25% picture: I’m a competitive athlete (in a sport with weight classes), no love handles or muffin top, about a size 4 with visible abs and delts. However, according to calipers I am far leaner (less than 17% body fat), so perhaps that is the metric you are using?
I’m not an expert…but looked into BodPod before. Apparently it can be made inaccurate easily enough by clothing etc-if your swimsuit isn’t completely skintight or if the cap doesn’t squeeze all the air out of your hair and get it completely flat it can overread because it’s being based on air displacement.
I tend to trust calipers if they’re being done by somebody experienced. I got one of my friends (an exercise physiologist who does fitness assessments all the time) to test me 2 weeks after I had a Dexa. Didn’t tell him result when he was testing. He was within 1%!
I was wearing special compression garments + swim cap.
Thanks! I do like this format better than the videos, and will be using the article to help me reach and assess my short-term BF goal of 20%…Great job, as always!
Welcome Amy.
Thanks Leigh! This makes it easier to ne clear about what my goals and starting point are. It seems that the way someone looks is an intersection between how much muscle mass one has and body fat percentage. I wish that we could develop some common language to describe how much muscle one is carrying like 0 = little to no muscle bulk like the skinny guy/girl in the comparison pictures, 10 is a hyooge body builder, etc. Then we could put bf% on the x axis and muscle bulk on the y and plot the pictures…. Okay I’m getting a little dorky.
Actually I am working on a terminology and formula for these things to help for the Make My body Release.
There is no w3ay you can be correct with this estimations, they are way to high. I got my body fat measured by a professional trainer and it said 10% and I don’t have ab definition yet.
Erik I have to agree with CanneW and also state this professional trainers can be very wrong about body fat estimations. I know in the beginning I certainly was with my skinfold usage.
Great post!
What took you so long
Is it possible for you to do more than just this one? Perhaps a range of male and female from 4% up / 8% up?
Interesting idea, I will see what I can do. It can be tough finding the pictures I need.
I am sorry but I look way better at my measured 29% than the girl does at 20%. This seems very biased against making women feel fatter. We can’t all be lingere model’s.
If you had listened to Leigh’s recent podcast and some of her previous ones, you’d realize that she is not making value judgments based on bf %. If you are happy in your skin, then you have arrived. Those of us who aspire to different goals but have not reached them are still on the journey. Personally, I don’t like how I look at 29%, my facial features become obscured and I get back fat. Closer to 20%, My lips look fuller, my nose looks smaller, my cheekbones are nicely defined, and I don’t have any bra bulges on my back. That’s how I like to look. Better for me, but not a requirement for anyone else.
Beyond the great input Cindy has, I also stated that different people look different at different body fat percentages. If you took two female twins and both were at 22% but one had 8 more pounds of LBM they would look very different and the one with more LBM with more than likely appear to be more “toned” and defined at a higher body fat.
Why would the person with higher LBM appear more ‘toned’ at the same fat percentage? Wouldn’t they have more fat as well and just be bigger but with the same level of definition. When I look at the girl at 25% body for example, she looks thin but sort of flabby. She may well be closer to 30% body fat with low LBM.
When I look at the comparison of the two women supposedly both at 15%, the one on the left looks somewhere between your example of 11% and 15% body fat, but the one on the right looks between the 18% and 20% body fat pics.
Think of your skin as a bed sheet. If you lay a bed sheet on bed with a couple of peas you will barely notice a difference or the peas presence. If you lay the bed sheet over mounds of potatoes you will see a noticeable change in mass shape. The sheet did not get thinner or change in its size, nor did the mattress it rests on. The potatoes (muscle) is the only thing that changed, there for providing different definition on the same surface.
The 15% woman is not the same at all. She is soft in her legs and doesn’t have noticeable chest separation even flexing. There are various other reasons as well. These are small difference, but differences they are.
I’m still a bit confused, if two women are at the same fat percentage but one has more LBM won’t they also have proportionately more fat on them..so the sheet thickness doesn’t change, but won’t the mattress (fat layer) be slightly thicker?
Example, woman at 120lb and 20% body fat has 24lb of fat plus 96lb of LBM. Woman at 130lb and 20% body fat has 26lb of fat and 104lb of lean mass. I realise most of the weight difference is due to the increase in muscle mass, but even just 2lb of extra fat should maintain the same level of definition right?
Sorry if I sound whiney and nitpicky lol, but just curious and would like to understand better.
erikk – no offense… but if you don’t have any abs at 10% then either 1. you are really higher than 10% body fat or 2. you need to train your abs harder to show the muscle definition (like the skinny guy in the pix above).
Leigh,
Quick question…..with regards to the pictures of the male at around 3-4 percent and the female at around 8-9 percent, do those numbers include the roughly 3 percent (at least I think that is about accurate) essential fat that is part of the make-up of the CNS?
On a side note, given your comment about photos as a potentially valid method of tracking progress (along with other metrics and methods of tracking that you can use along with it), would you say that the product in the following link is likely overrated and very over-priced fro someone training clients (a mix of general population, sporting athletes, and physique competitors?
http://intelametrix.com/Technology/Index.htm
http://www.staleytraining.com/articles/product-reviews/bodymetrix-review.htm
Note: I linked to Coach Staley’s website review not to create any sort of friction, but merely because the review posted a price range for the item, which was not listed directly on the Intelametrix website.
What I am speaking of is levels of subcutaneous fat.
As for the device, there is absolutely no need for something like that. Why? What purpose would something like that serve other than novelty ya know? My clients get way more impressed when I use their own photos and numbers to help deliver a more than accurate enough number for tracking and goals.
I think if you have to rely on something like that, you are reaching for results instead of seeing them.
haha I look exactly like the scrawny 10%-er. Time to keep working on bulking up!
Hey Leigh,
love your posts and podcasts and the fitcast! I’m curious, I think I may actually be estimating my body fat percentage too high! I thought I was around 22-24% but I look way more like that 18%-20%. Is it possible for you to post a few more photos in that range of more muscular women? the women in the 18 and 20 look still pretty low-muscle to me. Thanks so much for all your work! You’ve definitely given me a new unemotional outlook on fat loss.
After putting up this post I have received more request of varying body fat/lbm levels. It should (hopefully) be up within the next two weeks.
Let us know if you need more photos!
I love this post Leigh. I actually enjoyed the video too, I am surprise that you compacted all that information into this article.
That was a most interesting post. I really liked seeing the visual difference between bodies and corresponding it with the numbers.
I like the 18% female – I’m making that my goal once I get off the Synthyroid and onto the dessicated thyroid. I think that will make a difference along with your plan.
Thanks Leigh. You Rock..
Leigh,
I would love a gallery of picture with various amounts of body fat and muscle mass. I greatly appreciate what you have done here giving visual examples, but as the 10 % pics of skinny guy and track guy show there is alot of variance.
Thanks for all you do
Leigh, I went back and read your realistic goal setting posts- I found a place that suggests how fast one can gain muscle, but not how fast one could expect to lose fat. Is this somewhere, and if not could you give some recommendations on timeframe when setting fat loss goals, either by pounds or percentages? I would also like to know possible side effects on the body when comparing a slow and steady or rapid fat loss route. Thanks for all of your great info! You have finally brought me around to the reality of energy balance and I’
ready to get something done! Thanks.
Hi Leigh…another great post! Thank you! I just read your TroubleShoot in 1 day…loved it. But I was left wondering can I safely have a large deficit if re-feeding days are incorporated every week? I have trouble eating enough to keep my deficit below 1000 daily, and exercising less just seems counter intuitive. I recently came across this statement on a random website, which i’m sure is not the most reliable resource, but I thought that it could potentially make some sense!
“It has been found in scientific work that a sedentary person can oxidize 31 calories from adipose tissue every 24 hours. This means that the more fat you carry, the larger your deficit can be, without catabolized non-fatty tissues (muscle).”
If this were true, then at 5′-6″ and 205lbs, having about 80 lbs of fat to lose, my deficit could safely be 2480??!! Now I know THAT doesn’t make sense, but would you say that the more body fat you have to lose, the greater your deficit can be daily without eating away prescious lean tissue?? I generally have a fairly high deficit (between 1600-1000) during the week, with a surplus/maintenance on weekends, and I am having big time trouble losing anything, so i’m assuming the answer is my deficit is too high. The OPT program sounds great, but i’m not sure such a structured program will last long with me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated…thank you!!
Laura, your problem could also lie in overestimating your maintenance and therefore overeating on the weekends which would cancel out the deficit you created during the week. Instead of the entire weekend on higher caloric intake, try one day at maintenance. Look at the overall picture and not just the day to day. You have to have the 3500 calorie deficit from somewhere to get the fat off, but you can easily put that back on with one big splurge day. One pound down, 2 lbs up, repeat. That is more of a maintenance plan and not a fat loss plan. And yes, the more fat you have to lose the bigger your deficit can be.
Thanks for that Summerset…I will be more careful on weekends..perhaps i’m underestimating my calories there! Do you know if there is a formula or some way of estimating a safe daily caloric deficit depending on how much fat you have to lose? Thanks so much!
There is no such thing as a “safe’ caloric deficit amount. It varies on protein intake, length of time, training, goals, health, etc. To put it simply each person has a different “breaking” point and what that point is. If you don’t know how to maximize that or don’t read the literature to know how to do so, going with the standard tried and true methods are often best.
That being said these topics are discussed a lot on the blog and in podcasts, as well as in the books.
Loved this post, thanks so much! I never saw the video, but having these pictures is going to be a huge help in determining what I want my end goals to be.
Thanks Carrie
Thank god I am not the only one who agrees that these are extremly wrong estimates. I think I will trust the NY times over some no name with a blog who thinks they no it all. Get a life and a better job. I have been training for years and your estimates tell me I am overweight, I don’t think so.
Brooke, I don’t know who you are calling a no-name, but they love me in sweden.
That’s a smart decision on your part Brooke since we all “know” (please notice the correct spelling of such a tricky word) that there is no deception or misleading information to be found in the media. Kudos to you!
The bigger question is why would you, Brooke, take the time to respond to a no-name blog? Who asked for your opinion? Who is forcing you to read this blog? Personally, I find the info helpful, and presented in a way that makes sense.
And, remember: At the end of the day, it depends.
Booyah
You are so good at explaining things. Keep it coming!
Thanks April.
What about the body types(endo, meso, and ectomorph)? You differentiate
between people of the same body fat percentage with a visual difference by saying one has
more or less muscle. While this is true how we will look with different levels of fat depends
on our genetically determined body type also. I think it would be interesting to see
the different body types at high and low fat levels.
Somatotyping, while an interesting theory for topic of conversation, doesn’t play into factors or how you carry body fat as much as how you manage and partition. Sure, you could make an argument that the 10% athlete is a Meso and the tall skinny guy is an Ecto, but that comes into play if you are discussing potential dieting strategies. Somatotyping, to me, is as much psychological and environmental as it is stamped in genetics. My longwinded point is I would much rather discuss Somatotyping on its own than just in relation to this post.
it was so timely for me to read your article. I am a female who has been overweight most of my life until the last 4 to 5 years. I have lost 45 lbs. Through discovering exercise and FINALLY eating right. Thing is I lift weghts 3-4 days week regularly and do Cardio daily . I am 57 and weigh 125 Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day with good raitos YADA YADA I exercise at least 2 hrs a day Hard.{ I do Chalene Extreme and INSANITY Daily} YET I know you do not mention body fat scales[I have 2 different ones one at summer house} but mine NEVER gives me a reading below 30%. I look like your picture of the 20% or belowpicture WHATS up with that?
Body Fat Scales depend a lot of water fluctuations because of how they measure electro movements. It seems to me you are likely leading to the side of overtraining as well, which could cause increase in inflammation. Inflammation=more water=less accurate reading than you already get.
Thanks for this, Leigh….
DEXA measured me at 24% body fat and I look closest to the 20% body fat example (female). Maybe some of the differences lie in fat distsribution patterns plus how much fat is subcutaneous versus internal or intramuscular.
Excellent! This is a great guide that I can shoot clients over to help get some better understanding of what body comp means. Best shots are the ones showing how one person at a given bf% doesn’t automatically mean another person at the same percentage matches.
Thanks!
Brooke – HA HA HA, wow. All I can say. Leigh – Thanks for the great post. It is actually helping me clear up some confusion going in my head about my goals and where I want to be. I think I might just be where I want to be! Isn’t THAT a great revelation?!
Never a bad thing to figure that out eh? Congrats, not it’s all about paying it forward
This was one of your best, Leigh!
Thanks Krispy!
Excuse me, you people obviously think you are cooler than you are but I am a certified trainer and graduate in health and fitness studies. I think I know more about this than you given it is MY JOB. You should leave these things to professional like trainers and dietitians. Trainers aren’t allowed to use equipment like DEXA scans by the way, this person seems like a con artist. I get stead readings on calipers showing 18% body fat.
My blog is cooler than your blog.

Just curious on your thoughts of the Navy formula? It seems to be fairly accurate (claims validated by MRI are suppose to be R2: .89, SEE: 3.1%) though not very precises. Not close enough for most 1 week changes, but is dead simple to do. I would guess it is better than calipers for most newbies, and way better than impedance scales.
%fat=495/(1.0324-.19077(log(abdomen-neck)) + .15456(log(height)))-450 (men)

Great post, nice to get a visual of how different bodyfat levels look like.
I’m shooting for about 8 % myself, that’s a level I would like to keep.
