1. Tape measure around the stomach 1 inch above your belly button, tape around your neck. http://walking.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=walking&cdn=health&tm=5&gps=236_187_1012_601&f=00&su=p284.9.336.ip_p674.5.336.ip_&tt=2&bt=0&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.linear-software.com/online.html Try this it calculates it for you Vet-USAF / Part time bodybuilder
2. For males: we measure the neck, even with the adams apple, and the waist, even with the belly button For females: the neck, the skinniest part of the torso (in between the breasts and the waist) and the biggest part of the hips. To arrive at the body fat percentage for males we take your height and age, and punch the numbers into a formula to give us the percentage. For females we do the same, but we take into account the weight also. If you would like to know your percentage email me at Eric.Potter@USAREC.army.mil and I will punch in the numbers for you.
