Body Fat (YMCA) Calculator

How much of my weight is fat (using the YMCA formula)?

This calculator uses the formula developed by the YMCA to estimate your body fat percentage without calipers. Use a tape measure and enter your waist measurement. Combine the waist measurement with your gender and weight and this calculator will estimate your percent of body fat, how much of your weight is lean mass and how much is fat mass, and your general fitness category. The water displacement test is the most accurate way to determine body fat percent, but the Navy Body Fat test or YMCA formula is accurate within 1-3% for most people.

anonymous   AGE NEEDED! I play sports for my school and I work out 6 days a week. I eat somewhat over boundaries, mostly protein, and it says im underweight which is the "Essential Fat." They should explain having some muscles part. - 1/5/2013 1:48:55 PM

Puppet   I think they should include age cause it says I'm dangerously underweight but I'm pretty average for being 5 feet 6 inches and 110 pounds - 12/17/2012 10:59:13 PM

dancer   I think they should include age in the ymca formula because it is very inaccurate without it. The formula told me I was obese when I am really completely the opposite. - 8/21/2012 9:27:13 AM

Red   This is a great estimating tool. However, add 2-5% to this when doing actual skin fold measurements. - 12/8/2011 12:58:27 PM
