I'm 17 and just got my body fat measured at 26%. 6'1 and 208lbs. This may be an inaccurate % because I think i'm at 20% body fat but I still feel too fat. I want to start cutting but everyone says it is bad to cut as a teen because it affects hormone levels and overall growth (height etc.) should I cut since I'm fat or should I maintain like everybody recommends and hope I grow taller or that my fat turns into muscle from weightlifting like people are recommending? Thanks
Cut out junk food. You have nothing to gain from it. Listen to your body's hunger signals.
How did you get your body fat measured? If they used skin-fold calipers, you have a good reading.
Also, try eliminating all caloried drinks. Drink water and nothing else.
Finally, have a cut off time for eating. Don't eat after 8pm, for example. It will depend on when you go to bed.
