How it works: Body fat calculator

Measure the waist at the navel (women: the narrowest point), the neck just below the larynx and the hips at their widest, in centimetres. The US Navy formula estimates body fat from these, within about ±3–4%.

Typical ranges (ACE): men 14–17% fit, 18–24% average; women 21–24% fit, 25–31% average. It's more meaningful than BMI for muscular people.
