Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the US Navy body fat method?

The US Navy method is reasonably accurate for most people, typically within 3-4% of DEXA scan results. It's more accurate than BMI for assessing body composition.

Why do men and women have different formulas?

Men and women store fat differently. Women typically store more fat in hips and thighs, which is why the female formula includes hip measurements.

What's a healthy body fat percentage?

Healthy ranges are typically 10-20% for men and 16-24% for women. Athletes may have lower percentages, while some variation is normal with age.

How should I measure my body parts?

Measure at the widest part of each area, keep the tape level and snug but not tight. Take measurements at the same time of day for consistency.
