What Would You Do?

You mentioned plugging in your body fat to get the plan - do you have a truly accurate current body fat measurement, like a Dexa scan? If not, the output numbers could be suboptimal for you goals.

No, and that had occurred to me, but I think I’ve been pretty reasonable with my estimate. I’ve set it at 10% as I’m what I consider “beach lean” - veins in lower abs, good separation in quads etc.

I forget the exact cost but it's around $100. Sometimes they run BOGO 50% off, package deals where you can get 3 for a discounted rate, etc.

Dexa and underwater measurements are considered the most accurate methods of measuring body fat. I stick with Dexa because I've done it for 5 years and I can compare all my historical data each time. Dexa measures lean mass, fat mass, visceral fat, bone mineral content, gives breakdowns of lean mass per each arm and leg, android vs. gynoid fat distribution, and more. It's an invaluable tool for both those who are very serious about their physiques and everyday people wanting to know where they stand.

If you live near a decent college university most will do underwater weighing for you, you can call and find out.
