About body fat percentage

Body fat percentage is often a more useful measure of fitness than weight alone. The U.S. Navy method estimates it from simple tape measurements you can take at home, making it an easy way to track changes over time as you train.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the U.S. Navy method?

It’s a widely used estimate based on tape measurements and is reasonably accurate for most people, though not as precise as a clinical body-composition scan.

Where do I measure?

Neck: just below the larynx. Waist: at the navel (men) or the narrowest point (women). Hip (women): at the widest point. Measure relaxed, without pulling the tape tight.

Is this medical advice?

No — it’s an estimate for general information only.
