I also us the smallest part for the waist and the largest part for the hips. The calculation between those three along with your neck can give a body fat number. Just like measuring the for a bra size you need the biggest and smallest to get the difference so you know what cup.



ok so if i have
Neck 13.0
Waist 33.5
Hips 41.0
what is my body fat ?

I'd just use that as a reference point, against which to measure progess as it probably has a large margin of error.
