@felipe_ Thanks! "Average range" is so vague, it could mean so many things, and yeah I don't really think its worth the time figuring out where they got that info.

@amydoodles ill try to do it ASAP and ill also tag you if i remember

@arisemydarling I don't think that the amount of lean body mass I have is too low. I don't think that this will put me at risk in the future of daily living activities in the future. I don't think that cutting first from skinny fat puts your health at risk. You say 86g of LBM at 5'4" is...

also, about cutting from 26%BF, I think its important for people to know that it is okay and healthy for people who are "skinny fat" to cut first, before bulking.

@amydoodles yeah, its really not a big deal, pretty much that one pic floating around the internet is hella wrong unless we got that kim kardashian 27% BF lololol. I'll probably make a post soon with my body fat and results etc in a week or two when I get a chance!

@arisemydarling It's possible for beginners. I had strength gains during the cut. Either way, I calculated the new BF% assuming I didn't lose any, because how else was I supposed to calculate it? lol 25.8% is okay, but I was mostly referencing the articles about visceral fat in east asian...

@amydoodles I do have Instagram at Alice.Hwang if you look back to December, that's when I got my body fat of 26%. No actual body photos though :/

@amydoodles I'm also Taiwanese American, 5'4.5" and 115lbs when i got my body fat done, I was 26%. Your results seem spot on to me, and I'm cutting fat right now because I also learned about the dangers of visceral fat. just wanted too let you know you're not alone!

@amydoodles I guess the fact that I can get another scan done at any time...keeps me from actually having incentive to go back haha

@lawranick this was really cool to see, I've been lifting for a year and a half and I still don't look as good as your before >:o goals lol

@amydoodles I like it too, just didnt get it this time. Do you think you'll go back for another scan?

@amydoodles Mine are just raw results, they didn't calibrate it to any standards so no one drew any conclusions for me. Agter getting this DEXA, I have no idea how my bone density is lol. Age nor race nor gender matters in calculating how many % of me is fat.

@shellfish It's $100, call the Human Performance Labs at Wichita State University- I think that KU would have a similar lab with similar equipment though!

@shellfish Look for research studies in the HPS labs, they will be free!

@shellfish No, it's free for members, $20 for walk ins. http://firefliesandfitness.blogspot.com/2015/03/dexa-results-31115.html Legit I'm gonna call Monday and set up an appointment.

@shellfish Just found out Atlas MD will do them for $20 cash. Holy. Shit. I'm gonna go get another scan next week.

@ella85 Thanks! My name is also in my Instagram username though, so I've just kind of given up on that

@guzzy101 It so nice I have it twice

After seeing /@amydoodles post here I decided to share my DEXA ASAP while the topic is still relevant. my DEXA from 11-22-2014: no pics but a video from 2 days later: I've been thin my entire life, I never even weighed myself because I didn't really care what I weighed. I started bulking...
