Jarod C Went and got my body fat % checked...13.3% Gained about 1.5lbs lean muscle since last month. Lost 2.1% since my last visit during the first week of April. Getting to my optimal race weight!

Get that body fat % down and get lean. Lean is quick!
Getting your body fat percentage below 15% is a good step in the direction of being really lean. Through whichever means you choose, aim to reduce your fat to a point where only 15 per cent of your body is comprised of fat. Once you do that you are only 5% away from a fully enveiled six pack.
Note: this is not recommended for women who need at least 15% bodyfat

“I persevered and finally made it! I have been exercising 2 hours per week but I would say that achieving this goal was 90% diet. I try to eat as little processed foods as possible and I know that helps. Excited to finally reach 14.8% body fat and planning to keep working toward my goal of eventually gaining that elusive 6-pack.”

Amanda J but how do i know when my body fat is below 15 procent? and how is the easiest way tobget there?
I bought a scale which has the function built in. Easist way, I don't think there is one. It just takes work and persistance over time (and forgiving yourself and starting again when you are weak) I have 2 ways which work for me but each person should see a doctor first. 1. No wheat. That cuts out bread, cakes, pizza, etc. 2. I fast once a week while maintaining my physical activities. In August I was 93kg, 32% fat. Now I'm 82kg, 20% fat and loosing.

under 15% but not by much- down to 14% & i think for me- unless im competing- this is a healthy bodyfat percentage. Any lower & i would have to restrict my eating tpo much & end up sacrificing muscle strength & endurance for aesthetics.

Leslie C My real target is to get it below 10% in 90 days, but I will begin with trying to get it below 10%.

Garry H answered the question How can I reduce body fat?
this is what most bodybuilders do to cut ( loose/drop bodyfat) eat high protein, avoid carbs and some fats, increase the amount of cardio. To avoid muscle catabolism ( muscle is easier to use as fuel than fat, esp wh...
Randy B answered the question How can I reduce body fat?
There is no easy answer to this question. Bottom line, you have to work your butt off to reduce it. This includes cardio, weight lifting, and nutrition. You have to remember that losing body fat is 20 percent exercis...
