How can you calculate your amount of belly fat?

Answer 1

There are three ways to see how much visceral fat you have: (1) Get a DEXA scan done at a hospital or university that has such facilities, (2) Buy a body fat scale that supports such a feature (there are very few, search "visceral fat" and "body composition scale" or something similar, Omron puts out a series that does this, starting at 60 bucks or so), or (3) use a tape measurer to measure your waist... search for "how much visceral fat" in Google or other search engine to get the specifics... I personally question the accuracy of the last (third) method, but if it's your only option, then it's your only option.

Answer 2

You can use a method called hip to waiste ratio. all you have to do is use a measuring tape and measure the mid section above the belly button and the measure your hip where your rear sticks out the most, then divide the two numbers and the number you come up with is the ratio. For women the number should be under 85 and for men the number should be under 90.
