Ever since seriously trying to gain, my body fat % according to my scale has gone from 9% to 14.5%. I know sales aren't accurate, so I figured that best case I was ~18%.
Today I got a dexa scan and it told my my body fat was 23.7%! I know I'm still pretty skinny but this is an achievement for me.
One question though -- is 1.6 lbs of visceral fat bad? It doesn't sound like a lot but it doesn't show percentiles.
WeighAndSee: Bumping this super old post because I too got a DEXA scan and found it absolutely fascinating. (I’d been accidentally regaining after losing weight a while ago and was curious where I was at). If somewhere near you is doing them cheap I highly recommend.
