How to Calculate Your Body Fat Percentage
Our free body fat calculator uses the U.S. Navy tape measure method to estimate your body fat percentage. It is a simple and effective way to track your fitness progress without the need for expensive equipment like calipers or DEXA scans.
What You Need
- A flexible tape measure.
- Your height in centimeters.
- Your neck and waist circumference.
- For women: your hip circumference.
Why Track Body Fat?
Body fat percentage is a better indicator of health and fitness than BMI or body weight alone, as it distinguishes between fat and muscle mass. Tracking it over time gives you a clearer picture of your progress.
