FAQ

What is the US Navy method?

This is the US Navy's official body-fat estimation formula, calculated from the circumference of the neck, waist (and hip for women) — using just a measuring tape, no machine or caliper needed.

How accurate is it?

It can be off by ~3-4% compared to lab methods like a DEXA scan, but it's considered the most reliable of the home-measurement methods.

What is a healthy body fat percentage?

Men: 10-20% is a healthy range. Women: 18-28% is a healthy range (women naturally have more essential fat). Athletes can be lower than this.
