Body Fat Percentage

Typically to calculate body fat percentage you need at lease some skin fold calipers, if not a water displacement tank. There are formulas that use far less invasive measurements, such as a couple body circumference sites along with height and weight. Here are some links to some websites that will approximate your body fat percentage for you (you'll need a tape measure):

Knowing your body fat percentage, even approximately, can be a very helpful benchmark to see how you measure up with your health. It can also be very motivating if you're trying to lose weight and you can see that percentage moving downwards. Margin of error on these tests is relatively small and should give you a general idea at least.

Live well!
