I have only met a few people who were actually single digit body fat. I never got below low double digits even in my prime. If you're in single digits normally then a doctor has probably suggested different ways to eat to try and put on weight. Even professionals don't remain in single digits all the time if at all. Like someone above posted you can look amazing and still not be in single digits. I am referring to body fat % btw not BMI. BMI has always been flawed.
And yes the tape tests the military uses were flawed recruiters used to and may still tell people to do things like dehydrate, suck in, or use diuretics to help pass the tape tests. Some of that is also true for caliper tests.
Do not take my post as negative towards anyone I would never call someone else fat nor any other derogatory term.
