FAQ

What is body fat percentage?

Body fat percentage (BF%) is the proportion of fat in your total body weight. It provides a more accurate assessment of body composition and health than BMI or weight alone.

How accurate is the U.S. Navy Method?

The U.S. Navy Method is one of the most widely used body fat estimation techniques, with accuracy close to hydrostatic weighing (+/-2-3% error margin). It uses simple circumference measurements to estimate body density.

Why do women need hip measurement?

Women store fat differently than men, so the formula requires an additional hip measurement for accuracy. The male formula uses height, neck, and waist only.

What is a healthy body fat percentage?

Healthy ranges: Men 6-24% (athletes 6-13%, average 14-24%), Women 14-31% (athletes 14-20%, average 21-31%). Both too high and too low body fat can be unhealthy.

What is lean body mass (LBM)?

Lean Body Mass (LBM) is your total body weight minus fat mass. It includes muscle, bones, organs, and water. Higher LBM boosts metabolism and helps maintain healthy body composition.
