Body Fat Percentage Calculator
The Body Fat Percentage Calculator uses the U.S. Navy fitness formula to calculate an estimation of body fat. Although the water displacement test is the most accurate way to determine body fat percent, however the Navy Body Fat test or YMCA formula is sufficiently accurate within 1-3% for most people.
Body fats include: essential body fat along with storage body fat.
The essential body fat is required in order to maintain life and reproductive organ functions. The percentage of essential body fat in women is greater than that found in men, mainly because of childbearing demands and other hormonal functions.
The percentage of essential fat is 3% to 5% in men, and 8% up to 12% in women.
Storage body fat consists of fat accumulation in the adipose tissue, which is meant to protect the internal organs (chest and abdomen). The minimum recommended total body fat percentage exceeds the essential fat percentage value mentioned above.
Before you use the body fat percentage calculator, take tape measurements of your waist, hip, and neck. Use these measurements in tandem with your gender and height and the calculator will estimate your body fat percent, lean mass, fat mass, and your navy fitness category.
