I'm curious about everyone's take on the body fat percentage they can maintain without feeling overwhelmed. Personally, I find that around 9-10% is my limit before I start feeling anxious and a bit on edge. I can dip lower, but it's not something I can sustain all the time; more like in phases. Interested to hear others' thoughts on this.

I aim to maintain a weight around 185 pounds, standing at 5 feet 9 inches tall, and ideally keeping body fat between 13-18%, though it might vary in the summer.

I aim to keep up with it throughout the year. Despite occasional holidays and unexpected slips, I manage to maintain this about 10 months out of 12.

I'd guess it's around 12% or thereabouts... though I might not be entirely accurate.

I think a lot of people often forget that extreme leanness isn't sustainable for everyone. For me, around almost 9%-10% is my realistic limit. After that both mental and physical troll is just really intense....

9 to 10 percent body fat is unrealistic year round. I'd say 12% year round is easily manageable
