Frequently Asked Questions
It uses the U.S. Navy circumference method — a regression formula based on height, neck, and waist measurements (plus hip for women), all taken with a simple tape measure. No calipers, scans, or special equipment needed.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- This measures a snapshot, not a plan to lose fat. It estimates your current body fat percentage — for a calorie plan to change it, use the Calorie Calculator alongside this.
- Pull the tape snug, not tight. Compressing the skin under the tape gives a falsely low measurement — the tape should sit against the skin without indenting it.
- Women naturally have a higher healthy range than men. The category boundaries differ by sex because women carry more essential fat for reproductive and hormonal function — don't compare a woman's percentage to the men's chart.
