Calculate your body fat percentage using the U.S. Navy method or skinfold measurements.
A Body Fat Calculator estimates the percentage of your total body weight that comes from fat. It uses methods such as the U.S. Navy formula or skinfold measurements to provide an accurate estimate of body composition.
Body fat percentage can be calculated using formulas like the U.S. Navy method, which considers waist, neck, and height measurements, or using skinfold caliper measurements at specific body sites. Both methods provide estimates of body fat levels.
A healthy body fat percentage varies by gender and age:
No, BMI (Body Mass Index) measures body weight relative to height, while body fat percentage measures the actual proportion of fat in your body. Two people with the same BMI can have very different body fat levels depending on muscle mass.
Yes. Regular physical activity, strength training, balanced nutrition, and maintaining a calorie deficit can help reduce body fat percentage. Consistency and lifestyle changes are key for long-term results.
It’s recommended to measure body fat once every 4–6 weeks. This allows you to track meaningful progress without being affected by short-term fluctuations due to hydration or other factors.
