Estimate your body fat percentage using Navy tape measure, Deurenberg BMI-based (Asian-validated), and Jackson-Pollock/Parillo skinfold methods (3, 7, and 9 sites).
Body fat percentage is a superior health marker compared to weight. In FY 2026-27, healthy ranges for Indian men are 14–17% and for women 21–24%. The most accessible home method is the Navy Tape, while 7-site and 9-site caliper (skinfold) methods provide near-clinical accuracy by measuring subcutaneous fat directly.
