About the U.S. Navy Body Fat Method
This calculator uses the U.S. Navy body fat method, which estimates body fat percentage based on height and body circumference measurements such as the waist, neck, and hips (for females). This method is widely used because it is simple, non-invasive, and does not require specialized equipment.
