Body fat estimated from tape measurements or BMI. Both methods carry three to five percentage points of error against a proper measurement, so the band matters more than the point estimate.
Also called: body fat percentage calculator, navy body fat.
22.58% by the US Navy tape method, which puts you in the average range. The error on this method is about 3.5 percentage points, so the real figure is likely between 19.08% and 26.08%. Fat mass is 17.61 kg and lean mass 60.39 kg. Fitted against hydrostatic weighing on a military population, so it fits body types far from that sample less well.

The Navy method uses circumferences and was fitted against hydrostatic weighing on military personnel, which is why it works less well for body types far from that sample. The Deurenberg equation estimates from BMI, age and sex and carries larger error still. Neither is a measurement: both are regressions with three to five percentage points of standard error, which is wider than the gap between fitness categories. Tracking the trend with a consistent method beats comparing a single reading to a table.
