How to use

The U.S. Navy method estimates body fat from circumference measurements using logarithmic formulas. It is a field estimate, not a DEXA scan.

Formula (male)

BF% = 495 / (1.0324 − 0.19077·log(waist−neck) + 0.15456·log(height)) − 450

Female adds hip to the log term.

FAQ

How accurate is it?

Within a few percent for most people; hydration and flesh distribution affect it.

Do I need hip for men?

No — the male formula uses waist, neck and height only.

Better than BMI?

Often yes, because it distinguishes muscle from fat.
