I think staying in the 10-15 slot is a pretty good general guideline (cut to 10, bulk to 15). Probably some exceptions with skinny-fat people and I'd also use multiple metrics since bf estimations carry a high degree of error. Mirror/photos should play a dominant role as well.0 -

Pretty unlikely that you gained 3% bodyfat overnight.
This is the main reason trying to track progress via bodyfat % is a terrible method, it's far too unreliable.0 -
Use the mirror. Obviously whatever you're using to measure has too big a margin of error.0
