About Body fat calculator

The US Navy Body Fat Method estimates body fat percentage from circumference measurements rather than specialist equipment. For men, it uses neck circumference, waist circumference at the navel, and height. For women, it additionally uses hip circumference. The formula uses a logarithmic regression that correlates well with more precise methods like DEXA scanning for most body types. The Navy method is the standard used in US military fitness assessments and provides a practical at-home estimate of body composition. Results are categorised into standard ranges: essential fat, athletic, fitness, average, and obese.
