The Body Fat Calculator is a measurement of your BMI or body mass index and is a loose health assessment because their is no distinction between body weight from muscle and body weight from fat which is an important distinction to figure proper health figures but it is a helpful tool to use as a part of your over all health assessment and to simply figure if your carrying a little too much weight.

A ideal BMI is between 20.5 and 21.5 and is still, although controversial, used to help figure your risk of cardiovascular diseases and heart attack risks.
