Understanding Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage is a measure of fitness level since it is the only body measurement which directly calculates a person's relative body composition without regard to height or weight. The widely used body mass index (BMI) provides a measure that allows the comparison of the adiposity of individuals of different heights and weights.
Why It Matters
Body fat percentage provides a more accurate health assessment than BMI alone. It helps track fitness progress and identify potential health risks associated with too much or too little body fat.
Measurement Methods
This calculator uses two methods: U.S. Navy method (more accurate with measurements) and BMI method (simpler but less precise). For best results, use the Navy method with proper measurements.
Accuracy Note
While these calculations provide good estimates, the most accurate methods are DEXA scans, hydrostatic weighing, or Bod Pod tests. Use this as a tracking tool rather than absolute medical measurement.
