Multiply your weight(in the nude ) by 1.082
Example: if you weigh 200,
(200)X(1.082)=216.40
Add 94.42
Example: 216.40 + 94.42=310.82
(weight factor)
Your waist measurement(at navel) x 4.150
Example:if your waist is 34"
(34) x (4.15)=141.10
(waist factor)
Weight Factor-Waist Factor
Example: 310.82 - 141.10=169.72
(169.72 is your lean body mass)
Actual Weight-Lean body Mass
Example:200 - 169.72=30.28
(30.28 is your body fat)
(Body Fat/Actual Weight)x(100)
Example: (30.28/200)x(100)=15.24%
Your body fat would be 15.14%
I got this out of a book by Edward A. Byrd (NO2-The 21 day Transformation)
