BMI does not directly measure body fat percentage. Deurenberg et al. produced a formula to predict body fat from BMI which can be accessed from our body fat and Body Mass Index calculator An alternative to the Deurenberg calculator is the Gallagher body fat calculator. We also have alternative body fat calculators based on body part dimensions and skinfold measurments from calipers.
