Body Fat Calculator

How it works:

The body fat calculator is a quick method of determining your % body fat weight in terms of total body composition. Your total body composition is a combination of fat, muscle, skeleton and vital organs. By finding out your % fat weight you can easily determine your % lean body weight which is everything else but fat and includes the skeletal system, muscle and vital organs. For weight loss, the idea is to try and reduce your body fat weight whilst maintaining your lean body weight.

Average acceptable % body fat ranges:
Men: 15 to 20%
Women: 21 to 26%

Due to their make up, women naturally carry more body fat than men.
