    Hi. I know what machine is that. its the inbody media scan, it should look something like this. http://thedietdoctwinfalls.com/introducing-the-inbody-230-body-composition-device/

    No matter how 'inaccurate' it is, i would i say its pretty close judging from the what i visually see. it had me at 9% body fat, i see a lot of veins in my forearms and legs. and i feel moody and my period is haywire. So yes TOO LOW a bodyfat % is dangerous and not healthy. Hence I am currently 'bulking' to get my weight up and also to increase my bodyfat%.

    I am only 5"2" 106 pounds (desk job), but i am eating 2400 cals. Even at this, i foresee myself increasing these calories to gain more size, faster. Bodyfat% is not something i would like to play with, especially for ladies. :)

    you have never seen the machine but you know what it is and how accurate it is? That is a neat trick….

    Bro, step away from the keyboard and read that again ;)

    I was tested on that machine. And many other machines. The readings were consistent across. So yes, I would say that the machine is pretty accurate enough. Anyway, if you have the money to spend on a proper test, go ahead :) but these machines are just an indication and Goo enough at giving you a consistent progress (to see variance).
