-2% body fat? Bro’s got antimatter in his body

Keep in mind that having such a low body fat percentage is less healthy than having a higher than normal body fat percentage

What matters is how u feel, boys go to gym for looks, men go to be strong and healthy

The dudes who claimed 7% are actually double that or more.

Of course it's relevant, physiological changes correlate strongly with body fat percentage. As it gets lower when you're cutting, you need to change your diet and training in order to avoid skeletal muscle loss. Plus the margin for error is predictable for most measurement methods, for example DEXA is consistently about 5% high.

What's irrelevant for most people is exact precision, you don't need to know you're at 12.6% body fat. Even physique athletes don't need that much precision. But a rough idea (within a few percentage points) is absolutely relevant to anyone with body composition goals.

If you've dieted down from 30% BF to about 25% and plan to keep going, your protein requirements have actually gone up. Same if you've gone from 25% to 15%. If you want to avoid losing muscle, you need to have that BF% estimate so you can plan accordingly.

It's true though that nobody on TikTok has any clue what their actual numbers are, at best they misused calipers until they got a number they liked.

"Damn dude you're looking hella shredded man what's your bodyfat percentage?"

"-2 percent." 💀

For reference, 15% body fat sounds high but is a pretty sustainable but still very lean number. Lee Lem made a great video about living at around 10% body fat, and at around 5% body fat you are at serious risk of organ failure. Not all fatty tissue is visible, and you do need some amount of fat to not die.

If people judge you on your weight or how you look it doesn’t matter and if it’s hurting you use that as a motivation to go to the gym.
