The gist of the table above is that a person who weighs 10 pounds more but is at the same bodyfat percentage will carry only 1lb more of fat. I haven't seen this discussed or emphasised anywhere else but I think a table like this is most illuminating in establishing a realistic idea of bodyfat.
Lets look at some examples. A striking comparison can be made of two people with the same bodyfat, one 160 and the other 190. There is 30 pounds of difference in bodyweight and the heavier guy only carries an extra 3lb of fat. A lean 200 pounder would only carry one more pound of bodyfat than his 190 brah.
For our kilogram brothers it's instructive to compare bodyfats for 60-70-80-90-100kg at 10% bodyfat. They are respectively 6,7,8,9,10kg. So guys 10kg heavier only carrry an extra kilo of bodyweight.
A lean 220 pounder or 100kg brah is carrying only a few kilo or pounds of bodyfat than a ripped 70kg guy.
If you can pinch a good amount of fat on your gut or back than would be the difference between a lean 170 and 200 then you are probably too heavy for your amount of lean mass. Most people underestimate their bodyfat (and thus overestimate lean mass). A reality check is a good idea by cutting to 10% to shed the extra fat and get an accurate idea of how much lean mass you have. Subsequent bulks go more efficiently starting from a low bodyfat too which is a nice bonus.
