La calculadora de grasa corporal estima tu porcentaje de grasa usando fórmulas científicamente validadas. El método de la Marina de EE.UU. utiliza medidas de circunferencia y es uno de los métodos de campo más precisos. El método IMC proporciona una alternativa más simple.
Para hombres, un rango saludable es típicamente 10-20%. Para mujeres, es 20-30%. Los niveles esenciales son 2-5% para hombres y 10-13% para mujeres.
El método de la Marina de EE.UU. tiene una precisión de aproximadamente ±3% cuando las medidas se toman correctamente. Es más preciso que el IMC para personas atléticas.
Las mujeres naturalmente llevan más grasa esencial para funciones biológicas incluyendo regulación hormonal y reproducción. La grasa esencial para mujeres es 10-13% versus 2-5% para hombres.
Estas fórmulas están diseñadas para adultos (18+). Para menores, consulte un pediatra para una evaluación adecuada.
For the most consistent results, measure body fat in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking. Circumference measurements can fluctuate throughout the day due to hydration, food intake, and bloating. Taking measurements at the same time each day provides the most reliable comparison data.
BMI (Body Mass Index) only considers height and weight, making it unable to distinguish between muscle and fat. Body fat percentage directly measures the proportion of fat in your body, making it a much more accurate indicator of health and fitness. An athlete with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but a healthy body fat percentage.
Accuracy depends on measurement consistency, time of day, hydration levels, and proper technique. The Navy method requires accurate circumference measurements with a flexible tape at specific anatomical landmarks. The BMI method is less accurate for athletic individuals due to its inability to account for muscle mass. For the most precise results, use DEXA scans or hydrostatic weighing.
Measure once every 2-4 weeks for meaningful trends. Daily fluctuations are normal and not indicative of real progress. Track consistently at the same time of day, use the same measurement method, and focus on long-term trends rather than single measurements. Combine with progress photos, strength metrics, and how your clothes fit for a complete picture.
