Descrição
Your personal body fat tracker and calculator.
Figuring out how much body fat you have isn’t necessarily as easy as looking in a mirror or stepping on a scale. A bodybuilder and an obese person may be the same weight, but
they have very different body fat percentages. Your weight alone cannot tell you much muscle or fat you have. Instead, you’ll need to determine your body fat percentage.
The methods that we generally have available to measure the body fat range from being ‘acceptably accurate’ to ‘very poor’. This application provides you with a selection of top
3 scientifically based ways to measure your subcutaneous fat:
1. US Navy Tape – The military tape test is the official method used to estimate body fat for military officers. This test uses circumference measurements around the neck and
two spots at the waist. The measurement is placed into an algorithm chart to produce a percentage of body fat. The estimated accuracy is around 3-4%
2. Jackson/Pollock 3 skinfold – The skinfold test, which involves measuring the thickness of subcutaneous fat at specific sites on your body, is widely used by fitness
professionals to estimate both body density and body fat percentage. The method isn't foolproof -- body fat estimations based on skinfold tests have about a 3.5% standard error
rate, according to the American Council on Exercise. But its relative accuracy makes it a valuable assessment tool.
For men, measurement sites are the chest, abdomen and thigh; for women, they consist of the thigh, triceps and suprailiac crest, or just above the top of the hip bone.
3. Jackson/Pollock 7 skinfold - The 7 site skinfold version measures the fat layer in seven places of the body to provide body density, fat and lean body mass.
This app will calculate your FFMI (Fat free mass index) which is a number one metric for calculating how far you are from your genetic potential. You can save and track your
progress with pictures. The app allows you to make calculations in US and Metric units system, which gives you a convenient unit converter as well.
