    Your organs need fat to function properly!
    Is 2% fat possible for women to acheive and is that healthy?

    No. That would mean you're dead.

    dead???

    And also, your cells' membranes are made up of phospholipids (fats) and cholesterol. Without enough fat in your body, your cells cannot reproduce properly.

    I had a BF% test done last week (Bioelectrical impedance analysis) and the result was 17.2%. I'm pretty happy with that but would like to be slightly lower (maybe 15%?) so keeping my diet clean and free of as many processed foods as possible while still enjoying good food :drinker:

    PS Your BF% depends on many things as the below website mentioned earier shows:

    Depends on your body makeup, excercise routine and of course the most important - your diet. My suggestion would be to get a BF% test done so you have a starting point to gauge from.

    4% is on the edge of collapse. So 2% is definitely out of the question.

    Meh.. It's just a number and not really worth focusing on unless it helps motivate you to stay on track.

    I'm sure if I ask you to tell me how do I know that I have gained or lost muscle, you couldn't tell me.
    I know! I know!

    Your body fat scale and handheld monitor, then this formula:

    Weight x Body fat percentage = Pounds of fat
    Weight - Pounds of fat = Pounds of lean body mass.

    What do I win?!
