Is waist size alone a good measurement for bodyfat percentage?

Is waist size alone a good measurement for bodyfat percentage? No access to calipers or such. According to other formulas I'm single digit bodyfat but that is impossible.

Are you me? Everytime I go on these sites, I get single digits without fail.

For reference, I'm 6'2", 185lbs
29 inch waist

Maybe try lifting for more than a year.
Use the Navy body fat calculator if you're so interested.

I have a bigger waist than that I take size 34 pants in the waist. Although my waist line is slightly larger than that according to tape measurement.

I'm cutting to below 15% bodyfat because I have gyno and can't afford the surgery yet.
>>
Nah, I've been 32" waist at 20% and 10%

>>40811209
I've been lifting for nearly 3 years, fatass. Oh, and I still get single digits when using the Navy BF calc.
>>40811211
I have to wear 32 waist pants because of dat ass. Despite that, I wear belts without fail. Feels bad man
>>
>>40811132
No.
>>40811158
lmao what teenytiny bone structure you have
>>
>>40811257
Well then if you've been lifting for three years, you should know the answer you fucking skelly.
>>
>>40811132
Yes and no.
It is kinda accurate but it assumes you have a generic cookie cutter kind of bone structure and build. So it might be off.

I mean, I usually get anything from 12-16% on the things and I just have a 35ish inch waist but weigh 235 pounds. That doesn't seem to gel with the numerous bodyfat pics and I probably should have a higher bodyfat percentage.

But it's accurate enough and can help you get to where you need to go.
>>
>>40811311
Oh I do know. I'm just emphasizing the fact that these online calculators are always off.

Stay mad fatty.
>>
>>40811464
look at this 14 year old getting all mad.

>>40811464
Even Dexa is off bro.
Sometimes by as much as 5%.

The only way to get an 100% accurate measurement is a full biopsy.
