Need it mainly to protocol progress while on calorie deficit.

I believe a DEXA scan is the most accurate. Other methods will be like 3-5% off give or take, which at 10% body fat is a huge difference.

If you're lean, you can have a pretty good visual analysis and be off within 1-3%. My body fat % is around 11-12%, and I know that simply from lower ab, veins, and shoulder striation definition.

take pictures of yourself everyday at the same time with the same lighting and the same camera angle and just put that shit into a folder on ur photos app and scroll through them to see if you're gaining or losing fat/muscle, I do weekly-biweekly progress checks like that, specifically for bf% I just kind of eyeball it lol
