Health
Body Fat Calculator (Navy Method)
Estimates body fat percentage using the U.S. Navy circumference method, which needs only a tape measure — no calipers or scales. It combines neck, waist, height (and hip for women) into a validated equation used by the military for body-composition screening.
Health
Ideal Weight Calculator
Estimate your "ideal" reference body weight from your height, biological sex, and body frame size using the Devine formula — originally created in 1974 for pharmacological dose calculation and still used clinically today. Useful as a rough planning anchor, but not a personal weight goal: it ignores muscle mass, age, and individual physiology.
