Body Fat Calculator
About Our Smart Body Fat Calculator
Our smart calculator provides instant results and leverages AI to offer personalized insights.
Smart AI Body Fat Calculator
Stop guessing with just your weight. True fitness is about composition, not just scale numbers. Our AI Body Fat Calculator uses industry-standard measurements (US Navy Method) combined with AI analysis to reveal your true lean mass vs. fat mass ratio.
Why Body Fat Matters More?
Two people can weigh the same but look completely different. Our AI engine interprets your percentage to help you focus on the right goal: losing fat, not just weight, or building lean muscle.
How to Measure
- Gender & Age: Essential for accurate fat distribution formulas.
- Measurements: Use a tape measure for your Neck, Waist, and Hips (for women).
- The Result: Click Calculate to see your percentage.
- Pro Tip: Click "Get AI Advice" to get a customized plan on how to lower this percentage effectively.
The Truth About Your Body Composition
Your scale tells you how much you weigh, but it doesn't tell you what that weight is made of. The AI Body Fat Calculator separates the fat from the muscle, giving you the most important metric for health and fitness.
AI Composition Analysis
Knowing you have 25% body fat is useful. Knowing how to change it is powerful. Our AI algorithms provide actionable context:
- Visual Benchmarks: AI helps you visualize what your percentage looks like physically.
- Smart Calibration: Distinguishes between "Skinny Fat" and "Athletic" profiles to adjust advice.
- Targeted Strategy: Suggests High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) or Strength Training based on your specific fat tier.
The US Navy Method
We use the U.S. Navy Circumference Method, widely regarded as the most accurate way to estimate body fat without expensive equipment (like DEXA scans).
Accuracy: Typically within 1-3% of hydrostatic weighing.
Inputs: It relies on the relationship between your height and the circumference of your waist, neck, and hips to calculate body density.
ACE Body Fat Percentage Categories

Not All Fat is Created Equal
Subcutaneous Fat
This is the fat stored directly under your skin. It's the "pinchable" fat you can feel on your arms or legs. While aesthetic concerns often focus here, it is generally less harmful to your health than visceral fat.
AI Tip: Best reduced through a caloric deficit and consistent cardio.
Visceral Fat (The Dangerous Kind)
This fat is stored deep inside the belly, wrapping around your organs (liver, intestines). High levels of visceral fat are strongly linked to Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation.
AI Tip: Often responsive to low-carb diets, sleep improvement, and stress reduction.
Limitations of Measurement
While the US Navy Method is accurate for most people, hydration levels and measurement precision can affect results. It provides a reliable estimation, but for medical-grade precision, DEXA scans or Hydrostatic Weighing are the gold standards.
