How to measure correctly
Measure in the morning
Ideally measure in the morning before breakfast, so the values are comparable from day to day.
Tape measure level
Place the tape measure snugly without constricting and keep it level. Measure your neck below the larynx.
Measure twice
Measure each circumference twice and take the average. Small deviations when measuring quickly change the estimate.

Questions about body fat
How accurate is the estimate?
It is an estimate based on circumferences, not a measurement. It depends heavily on how accurately you measure. It is still useful for tracking over weeks if you always measure the same way.
Why do I need my hip circumference as a woman?
Women and men store fat in different places. That is why the calculator also asks women for their hips.
What is the difference from BMI?
BMI only uses height and weight and does not distinguish between muscle and fat. The circumferences give an indication of how much of it is fat.
Do I need to enter my email address?
No. The result appears right on the page. We don't ask for your email.
Does the calculator replace medical advice?
No. It gives you a guide for everyday life. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take medication, discuss your diet with your doctor.
