    DEXA + Bodpod results 22 F/ 130 lb/ 5'5/ ~19% Bodyfat

    @jg0279 My educated guess would be for you to align more closely with the bodyfat% of a women due to hormone therapy. Here are some studies you can look through, but unless there is a DEXA study looking specifically on bodyfat levels as well as the aesthetic correlation, there is no way for me...

    @dawn16 She's awesome! She's still in the essential fat range though so I wouldn't say she's an exception. She looked super lean and definitely comparable to a guy in the mid single digits. That, plus DEXA isn't 100% accurate .

    @rgvbaptist Common misconception! Essential fat for men is ~2-5%, while for women it is ~9-11%. So a woman with bodyfat in the upper teens is visually similar to a man in the lower teens.

    @robjdonkin Honestly I wish I was pear. Outside of the health benifits, I personally think pear is just more aesthetically appealing, especially at higher fat ranges! Apples look like a ball on stick legs :/. I guess the grass is always greener.

    @jhomar It doesn't directly relate, because you can build up your leg and glute muscles like I have but that won't change how you store your fat. It's probably a decent indicator for people that don't lift though. And thank you! :) Edit: just realized I may have misunderstood your comment...

    @aliahmed Thank you! For real though I just super lucked out with my bedhead that day, lol. The only way I could recreate it is via hairspray and teasing it.

    @tim123 It seems pretty accurate. I bulk around 2300-2500 calories even though I'm super active. I also have hashimoto's hypothyroidism though so that could play a part in that.

    @thienvietcom Not a concern at all, my bones aren't at risk of anything. Usually bone density increases with muscle mass, so I just figured it would be higher.

    Hey everyone! I was part of a study, and during the study I got my bodyfat analyzed via bodpod, DEXA, and TANITA electrical impedance step on scale. I am in the middle of a bulk (5lbs up since October 2016), so it's not the ideal time to measure, but oh well. Data is fun! Results: Bodpod...
