Lower body fat is not always better

[JeremyMeeks]

10% always better than 15-18%?

I don't trust the calipers I use - how can you tell you are facially at a low body fat percentage? When you jaw is literally bone with no fat whatsoever?

hard to tell, I would rather look at belly, if you have V shaped belly (visible side abs) then its very low
i wouldnt go lower to look like auschwitz survivor, if no bones, theres nothing to show off

So the v-line is a good indicator (pic below)? I think that's fair - you have any tips on getting that low - I've always been at around 15-20% - no more than 20% and maybe a few times at around 13-14%. What happens is I go on a good caloric deficit (300 daily) for a bit and then once in a while I have a cheat day and then end up eating bad for a few more days which cuts back progress. Then I go back on the deficit and it is an endless cycle. You have any tips on how to get to that model level body fat percentage?
