What is Body Fat Percentage?
Body fat percentage is a measure of how much of your body weight is made up of fat. Unlike BMI, which only compares height and weight, body fat percentage gives a more accurate picture of health. Knowing your body fat percentage can help you make better fitness and diet choices.
Why Is It Important?
A healthy body fat percentage is essential for overall health. Too little fat can lead to hormonal imbalances and fatigue, while too much fat increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more. This calculator helps you find your ideal fat range based on your measurements.
Healthy Ranges (approx):
Men: 10–20%
Women: 18–28%
Track your progress regularly and aim for gradual improvements. Always consult with a health professional before making big changes to your fitness or diet plans.
