Why we use the Navy Method

We estimate body fat using the U.S. Navy circumference method, which uses your height, waist, and neck measurements. While not as precise as a DEXA scan, it's practical, free, and correlates well with metabolic health markers. Combined with your waist-to-height ratio, these numbers give us a reliable picture of your starting point and help us track real progress beyond just scale weight.
