What is Body Fat Percentage?
Your body fat percentage is the proportion of fat to total body weight. Unlike BMI, it distinguishes between fat and muscle mass.
Healthy Ranges:
| Category | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Fat | 2-5% | 10-13% |
| Athletes | 6-13% | 14-20% |
| Fitness | 14-17% | 21-24% |
| Average | 18-24% | 25-31% |
| Overweight | 25%+ | 32%+ |
Measurement Methods Used:
- US Navy Method: Uses neck, waist (and hip for women) measurements
- BMI Method: Estimates fat based on height and weight
- Deurenberg Formula: Combines BMI with age adjustment
Note: These are estimates. For precise measurements, consider DEXA scans, hydrostatic weighing, or skinfold calipers.
