Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the US Navy formula?

The US Navy formula has a margin of error of about 3-4% compared to DEXA scans. It is considered reasonably accurate for general fitness tracking but not clinical assessment.

What is a healthy body fat percentage?

For men, 6-17% is considered athletic to fitness. For women, 14-24% is athletic to fitness range. Essential fat is 2-5% for men and 10-13% for women — going below these levels is dangerous.

Where should I measure my waist?

For men, measure at the navel (belly button). For women, measure at the narrowest part of the waist, typically just above the belly button.
