Estimate your body fat percentage using the U.S. Navy method.
Weight alone doesn't tell the whole story of health. Two people can weigh the same, but one might have a high muscle mass while the other has a high body fat percentage. Understanding your body composition—the ratio of fat to lean mass—is a much better indicator of fitness and disease risk. While professional methods like DEXA scans are expensive, the U.S. Navy Body Fat formula provides a highly consistent estimate using just a tape measure. Our Body Fat Calculator uses this proven method to help you track your progress beyond the scale.
Hoe het werkt
The calculator uses a logarithmic formula that compares your height to the circumference of your neck and waist (and hips for women). These specific measurements correlate strongly with abdominal and visceral fat levels.
