I bounced off 3% body fat (also measured by a DEXA scan) back when I was cycling competitively. This was surprisingly easy to achieve with high volume structured training and a food plan. Coach advised me to only remain so lean for target races. Coach was right, my immune system was weak and my mood was terrible until it got back up to 8%. Good racing results though.

I can’t imagine bothering with any of that if I didn’t have something I wanted to win.
