I went to MEPS last month after i lost 40 lbs, hoping to make weight. I failed by 1.7 percent body fat. since then I have lost another 15 to make my total loss in weight of 55 lbs. I have an 18.25 inch neck, a 41.25 inch waist, and I am 5'8 and 1/4 inch tall. I am trying to pass the body fat percentage by monday the 18th. can someone please tell me the exact equation that they use? I only had to lose 4 lbs, but i lost 15 just to make sure so that i could eat a huge lobster and steak at red lobster the night before I ship. Also I just want to make sure that i am under.

You also need to factor in your age and I'm guessing you're a male. But you take the waist measurement subtract the neck measurement--then there is a chart they go by if you are over 30 (I think), then it is 22% under 30 is 20%. I believe they go by 1/2 inch intervals, which would put you at 5'8 1/2". Also if I remember correctly, you have to be a bit under you max, to go to boot camp.

i don't know how the military determines body fat %, but there are 3 ways to determine--1. an electronic body impedence calculator(either hand held or a feature or scale) 2. analysis where you are submerged in water 3. or using skin calipers. doing the water way is the most accurate, but skin calipers are good, too.

For sandwich-lovers, use spinach or swiss chard leaves as an alternative to a wrap, skip the piece of cheese, and load through to the veggies.

Eat in front of a person rather than a screen. It cuts down on mindless eating and making you more accountable for each chunk.

It’s the little things that count. Invest throughout spanks. They cinch in the wobbly bits and cause you to be feel taught, toned and wonderful.

In the mood for a hot meal? Make a large pot of veggie bean soups, divide into two-cup containers, and store within the freezer. Before bed, place a container in the fridge, then grab it before heading out the door the next day.
