How accurate are the electronic body fat meters

It says I have a BMI of 28.1
And fat % of 19.1

This is at the doctors so I'm assuming it's half way legit.

I look fatter then this pic.

Could it be that I only carry fat in my torso and it's not distributed ?

198lbs 5'11

Already hit 1/2/3/4

Fat fuck

bf% estimate?

>>
>>38870164
Who cares.

For real. What will that number do for you?
>>
>>38870164
Why do retards do this with their shirts? You're just stretching it out and looking retarded in the process.

If you want fat indicator look up the US Army/USMCs taping. It's not that accurate but it's easy and give you a direction.
>>
>>38870293
bf% is quite useful when bulking.
So you know when to stop.
>>
>>38870305
Unless you're competing in a bodybuilding competition, its not. Set a goal weight and stop when you get there.
Or just say "I look skinny enough".

>Electronic test

Those give weird results and are extremely inaccurate.

I do them for giggles sometimes to show this.

Last bulk I had lost most definition and figured +- 20%.

Nope, 7.6%

Went in after my cut. 6 abs+, veins etc

>19.2%

Day after? 5.1%.
Day after that? 9.3

These things are rubbish.
>>
>>38870498
>>38870487
way too high. Probably more like 6.88%

Also I got tested using a DEXA scan. Accurate as fuck
>>
>>38870352
similar body type here.
I'd say around 20-24%
>>
>>38870387
AAAAAAAAAAND BOOM goes the dynamite.
>>
>>38870570
its about water percentage in the body, the lower it is the more it skewers your results
>>
>>38870570
Maybe try not being poor.
My scale cost $80 five years ago, has no systematic error (compared averages with a DEXA scan) and very little statistical variation (other than the actual change in fat in my body during the day).
>>
>>38870106
>Start measuring every morning after peeing to have an idea of variation
> Do a dexa and compare with the meter

More accurate than this picture.
The people who make these pics don't actually know the bfs of the bodies in them, they're just estimates
