You can measure BMI using a formula which I can't recall with weight and height but that's not really body fat. Special sets of scales can use density to determine body fat percentage. Otherwise you can measure the thickness of skin folds with calipers and convert it to body fat percentage. Probably easiest to buy a set of scales that can do it if you're that worried about it. If you do want to know the BMI equation it is: your height in metres x your height in metres divided by weight in kilograms = BMI exa. 1.68metres x 1.68 metres =2.8224 63 kgs / 2.8224 = 22.32 If your weight is between 20 and 25 you are in a healthy weight range.
