How to measure body fat reliably?

[Matheus]

My flatmate tells me I'm 10% bf but I'm pretty sure he's wrong and I'm higher (12% maybe).
Those online calculators are full of bullshit

Cheapest way is the scale in the gym that measures fat, not very accurate

Best is DEXA scan but costs a fortune

Are weight scales with electronic bf measurement reliable?

actually it has been proven that DEXA scans aren´t that accurate, a guy named greg doucette made a vid about it, check it out

As reliable as you can get without spending your life savings

It is enough for you to measure progress if you are into bodybuilding

Don't know about this bro, but I think of all options it is the most reliable

Yeah there is a bit at least I think so but I can't be sure it's not skin

If anything it's very little. I feel the bones pretty sharply. Maybe you can estimate with a pic?
