Step 2: Calculating Your Results
Once all the necessary inputs have been entered, the calculator will automatically compute the results. Here is what each result represents:
- Body Fat Percentage: This percentage indicates the proportion of your total body weight that is made up of fat. The calculator uses gender-specific formulas based on your waist, neck, and height measurements, with the hip circumference included for females.
- Total Body Fat Mass: This is the weight of the body fat in kilograms, calculated by applying the body fat percentage to your total weight.
- Lean Body Mass: This result shows the weight of your body mass without the fat content in kilograms, derived by subtracting the total body fat from your weight.
- Ideal Weight Range: The calculator also provides an estimate of your ideal weight range, based on your lean body mass divided by 0.85, to help you determine a healthy weight target.
Step 3: Understand and Use Your Results
After obtaining your results, use this information to make informed decisions about your health and fitness goals. Understanding your body composition can help you tailor your diet and exercise programs to achieve optimal health outcomes.
