Guide to the Body Fat Calculator

This calculator estimates your body fat percentage using a formula based on the U.S. Navy method. It provides an estimate of your body composition, including body fat mass and lean body mass.

How to Use

  • Enter Measurements: Accurately measure and enter your height, weight, neck, and waist circumference. For females, hip circumference is also required.
  • Calculate: Click the 'Calculate' button to see your estimated body fat percentage and other related metrics.

Measurement Tips

For best results, use a flexible measuring tape and ensure it is level. Measurements should be taken without clothing compressing the skin.

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides several key metrics:

  • Body Fat Percentage: The percentage of your total body weight that is fat.
  • Body Fat Mass: The total weight of fat in your body.
  • Lean Body Mass: The weight of your body minus the fat (includes muscle, bone, organs, and water).
