US Navy Method & BMI-Based Body Fat Estimation

Enter your body measurements to calculate body fat percentage, fat mass, lean mass, and fitness category.

📏 What is Body Fat Percentage?

Body Fat Percentage is the proportion of fat in your total body weight. It is a more accurate health indicator than BMI, as two people with the same weight can have very different health profiles depending on their muscle-to-fat ratio.

Preguntas Frecuentes

What is the difference between body fat % and BMI?

BMI only uses height and weight and cannot account for muscle mass. Body fat percentage measures actual fat proportion, making it a more accurate health indicator.

How accurate is the Navy method?

The US Navy method is accurate within about 3-4% compared to DEXA scans. It is the most reliable method you can do at home with a tape measure.

What is an ideal body fat percentage?

For men, 10-20% is healthy; for women, 18-28%. Athletes typically maintain 6-13% (men) or 14-20% (women).
