Body-Fat Estimator (US Navy)

Estimate body-fat percentage from circumference measurements using the US Navy method.

0estimated body fat

Notes

  • The US Navy method is convenient but approximate — expect a few points of error vs DEXA.
  • Measure relaxed, at the same time of day, for consistent tracking.
  • Trends over weeks matter more than any single reading.
