Can I get an estimate of my bodyfat percentage. I'm 65 years old, 6 feet and 172 lbs. I measured my bodyfat on a Omron handheld monitor and it registers between 14 and 15%. I have heard that these monitors are not very accurate. Thank you.
It’s hard to accurately estimate body fat from pictures alone since lighting, angles, and posture can really affect how things look, but people usually give a rough range based on visible muscle definition and overall shape. For a more reliable number, methods like calipers, smart scales, or a DEXA scan would be better options. Online estimates can still be useful for general feedback, just not exact fym meaning in text, take them as rough guesses rather than precise measurements.
