re: OT workout crew lets talk body fat %

But some people think that because they're skinny they automatically must have a low bf%.

Now that is true - "skinny fat" is a real thing, and more women have it than men, frankly, because it is natural for them to be higher in fat and lower in muscle unless they're genetically gifted or work at it pretty hard.

And I don't believe you were 6%.

Maybe I wasn't, but that's what the PhD in physiology calculated using the skinfold calipers and a lot of math.

To be honest, there wasn't an ounce of fat on me, but I was fairly stringy - I had a little chest going and a little more arm muscles (curls for the girls ), but you don't get a nickname like "Bones" at summer camp unless you're pretty skinny.
