Is it possible for a healthy guy to have 10 percent body fat and STILL be underweight because of a lack of muscle but NOT fat?

Yes! i know a guy who is underweight and yet he even has 10 percent bodyfat. He doesnt work out at all so yeah you can have a good healthy bodyfat and still be underweight from a lack of muscle not fat. I also know about a guy who is prettly fat and he is also underweight. I think you can have a good healthy body fat percentage and still be underweight from a lack of muscle not fat. You can be underweight from muslce even though you have a good body fat percentage.

What body fat percentage should you start bulking currently your bf percentage is 14.94 percent?

Bulking is a dangerous and (usually) ineffective technique to gain muscle mass. It is a fallacy to assume that you need to have a high body fat percentage in order to gain muscle, and it could be dangerous. Also, the perceived muscle gains from bulking tactics are usually fat or water stored in the muscle, and do not represent any real gains in strength, endurance, or appearance. At roughly 15% body fat, you are neither too thin or too fat, and should not have any problems related to fat or energy when building muscle. What is important is that you maintain your calorie intake in relation to your work load. The more work you do, the more calories you need. If you find that your body fat percentage is increasing, you're eating too many calories and may need to recalibrate your diet.
