Is a 26 inch waist fat?

[Anonymous]

For a 5'5" female.

I eat pretty healthily, make sure not to overeat, and go to the gym a few days a week (even if I skip a day, I walk on average 8-10 miles a day because of where I live). I'm fine with my body except for my stomach! It looks pregnant most of the time. What's worse is that the rest of my body looks athletic and I have a thin to medium frame. I wear hoodies or big t shirts all the time because of it. I drink a lot of water and green tea.

My (usual) waist measurment is 26". But why the bloating?

First check why your stomach looks "pregnant". Can you take a fat layer between your fingers and how thick is it? Compare it to the skin thickness under your triceps. If that is normal, check your abs. Do you feel a sixpack when you flex them (or see it) ? If both previous answers are OK, its probably tour testins pushing out. Not much to do about it except make your abs even stronger. In all other cases, train extra fat away or strengthen abs more.

26" is thin.
Since you sound healthy qnd hydrated.. have yourself checked for food allergies or gut issues? Those can cause bloating

No. I think anything over 34 is fat. Really depends on how you store fat and your height.

Its perfect , believe me. You should do crunches to burn fat around your stomach. But afterall, your diet matters the most.
