About the Body Fat Calculator
The Body Fat Calculator helps estimate the percentage of fat in your body using measurements like waist, neck, and hips. Itβs based on the U.S. Navy Body Fat Formula, which is a widely recognized and scientifically supported method.
Why Body Fat Percentage Matters
Your body fat percentage is one of the best indicators of health. Unlike BMI, it differentiates between fat mass and muscle mass, giving a clearer picture of fitness levels. A lower percentage generally indicates more lean muscle and a healthier metabolism.
