YMCA Body Fat Formula

The YMCA body fat formula is a simple Body Fat Percentage Calculator. This formula generally gives a reasonable estimate of your BFP, but you should know that the results of this formula are NOT perfect.

You will get a more accurate Body Fat Percentage by having an independant test by a health professional. Then you can input your body fat percentage manually to get a more accurate estimate of your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).
