Body Fat Estimate (US Navy)

Estimate body fat percentage using height + tape measurements.

Uses the U.S. Navy method (tape measurements). Estimates only.

Results

If measurements look wrong, double-check units (cm) and where you measured.
Explanation

Estimates body-fat % using the U.S. Navy tape method (height + circumferences).

  • Measurements are entered in cm, converted to inches internally.
  • Uses the Navy logarithmic equations (different for male vs female).
  • Best used to track trends over time (same tape position each check).
