Measure Your Body Fat Percentage
Toolsmystro’s Body Fat Calculator is an easy-to-use online tool that helps you estimate your body fat percentage based on your height, weight, waist, neck, and hip measurements. Whether you’re tracking fitness progress, planning weight loss, or simply monitoring your health, this tool provides accurate results within seconds.
Why Use a Body Fat Calculator?
Body fat percentage is a crucial metric for assessing overall health and fitness. Unlike Body Mass Index (BMI), which only considers weight and height, body fat percentage gives a clearer picture of your body composition by differentiating fat mass from lean muscle mass. Maintaining a healthy body fat percentage is essential for reducing the risk of obesity-related diseases, improving athletic performance, and achieving a balanced physique.
How is Body Fat Percentage Calculated?
This calculator estimates your body fat using the U.S. Navy method, which relies on key body measurements. The formula varies based on gender:
- ⚜ For Men: The calculation considers waist, neck, and height measurements to determine body fat percentage.
- ⚜ For Women: In addition to waist, neck, and height, hip measurements are included for a more accurate estimation.
The formula used is:
- ⚜ Men: Body Fat % = 495 / (1.0324 - 0.19077 × log10(waist - neck) + 0.15456 × log10(height)) - 450
- ⚜ Women: Body Fat % = 495 / (1.29579 - 0.35004 × log10(waist + hip - neck) + 0.221 × log10(height)) - 450
