Is body fat test necessary

[Bigger happier]

Hi guys has anyone did a dexa scan before i just did one cost me £150 in London England.
It’s saying I’m 18.8 % body fat with 12 kg muscle does this pic look like I’m 18.8 percent body fat ?

I did bod pod body scan 4 weeks ago and it said I was 13.6 % so I’m guessing I’m 12 % now as I was 71 kg now I’m 69 kg 6 ft .
The guy also told me 190 G protein is to high for me and I should have 140 g. Which I think is rubbish. When your cutting you should have a high protein diet. Any feedback on this

Maybe somewhere in the middle. He might be right about the protein or at least close.

At 69kg, 160-175g protein is perfect.

How did you calculate your bf? Typical rule of thumb for protein intake is 1-1.5 gm/lbs. I’ve see bigger bodybuilders run higher. Main thing is to monitor you kidney functions.
Caliper say I am at 8-8.5% in this pic.

Nice photo. I don't think body fat test is necessary but it could be true. But you can confirm the feedback you were given by asking two more different people even if it will cost you another 150.
