Calculate your body fat percentage using multiple methods including US Navy formula, BMI method, and more. Understand your body composition for better health and fitness planning.
Body fat percentage is the total mass of fat divided by total body mass, multiplied by 100. It provides a more accurate assessment of health than BMI alone, as it distinguishes between fat mass and lean mass.
Knowing your body fat percentage helps you understand your health risks, track fitness progress, and set realistic goals for weight loss or muscle gain. It's a better indicator of fitness than weight alone.
For men, essential fat is 2-5%, athletes 6-13%, fitness 14-17%, average 18-24%, and obese 25%+. For women, essential fat is 10-13%, athletes 14-20%, fitness 21-24%, average 25-31%, and obese 32%+.
This calculator uses the US Navy method (circumference measurements), BMI method (height and weight), and Yuhasz method (skinfold measurements). Each has different accuracy levels and requirements.
