Easiest Formula: 


Calculation of body fat percentage for men:


- You have to weigh your self in pounds " 1 kg equals 2.2 Pounds " .

- You have to measure your waist in inches " 1 inch equals 2.5 cm " .

Then Apply this formula:

* Multiply your total body weight by (1.082) Then add 94.42 to the result .
      ( Body weight x 1.082 ) + 94.42 = A

* Multiply your Waist by 4.15 .
      ( Waist measurement x 4.15 ) = B

* A - B = Lean body weight .

* Body fat weight = Total weight of the body - Lean body weight 

* And finally :
    Body fat % = Body fat weight multiplies by 100 and divide the result on your total body weight .

    Body fat % = ( body fat weight x 100 ) / total body weight .


Calculation of body fat percentage for Women:


A= " Total Body Weight x 0.732 " + 8.987

B= Measurement of the Wrist " full point " / 3.140

C= measurement of the Waist " at the umbilicus " x 0.157

D= Measurement of the hip x 0.249

E= Measurement of the forearm x 0.434

Lean body weight = A+B-C-D+E

Body fat weight = Total body weight - Lean body weight

And Finally 
Body fat % = " Fat weight x 100 " / the total body weight .
