As good as can be for a semi-professional cage fighter

Around 5% for me, though I don't have a reliable test. It's a genetic thing I suppose, I'm right on the line for underweight (I usually keep my coat and shoes on when they ask me to step on the scale at the Dr.'s office so the nurse doesn't put me down as underweight.) I've tried everything--donuts, whole milk, eating right before I go to bed, working a sedentary job, etc.--and nothing except exercise gets my weight up, and even then regular weight lifting gets it up only by a few pounds.

Oddly enough, that's partially what drove me to a greater interest in clothes--off-the-shelf clothes for the "American male" are a dreadful fit on my frame, so I went far and wide in search of better-fitting clothes and, as it turns out, ended up with higher-quality and better-looking clothes in the process.

I just got caliper'd for my fitness orientation @ the gym on Tuesday, the guy said I was somewhere between 5% and 6%.

I used, I think, 3 different methods. I sort of question how accurate they were. All three agreed I was about 7%. Might schedule an appointment at the health center and see what they say. Or find somewhere that does the water immersion test. That would be nice.

I believe there are plenty of people who honestly think their body fat is 4-6%.
