    Body fat percentage

    Hi, new here and I have a question

    Six years ago I weighed 140kg.
    Today my height is 164 and I weigh around 65kg, all body fat calculators say I'm about 20-21 body fat percentage, my abs are clearly visible (the first 4) and I've read that I shouldent be able to see them before I get to around 15%.

    So how is this explainable ?
    Can my excess skin mess up the measurements that much? genetics ?

    How old are you and what BF measuring devices are you using? How many times have you been tested?
    I don't think you would see abs until around 13% or under.

    It really depends on where tot store fat my dude, how shredded are your legs, back, arms etc.. But don't even worry about bf%, just get to where you're happy with your body.
    Personally, I get veins on my v-line before I get veins in my arms.
