How to Record Body Measurements
Head to the Profile tab and tap the grey Measures button under Dashboard. Tap the + icon on the top right to record a new entry with as much or as little information as you want. You can select a different date at the top:

Below that, you can tap to upload progress photos (learn about them here).

Under Measurements, you can log your body weight, body fat percentage, and circumference measurements for all body parts, including the neck, forearms, hips, and calves.

You can log all measurement options or just the ones you care most about. The app also allows you to log only your body weight or weight and body fat percentage if you do daily weigh-ins with a digital scale.

Once finished, tap Save to store the measurements in your profile for future reference.
How to Monitor Your Recorded Body Measurements
Navigate to the Profile tab and select Measures to access your previously logged body measurements.

The app displays every measurement on an individual graph. You can tap the horizontal buttons below the graph to see the different measurements you’ve logged:

You can also tap on any existing entry to change or add details:

How to Take Body Measurements
Body Weight
- Weigh yourself daily or at least four to five times weekly
- Do it in the morning on an empty stomach after visiting the bathroom
- Log the value to 0.1 of a kilogram or lb in Hevy
- Track your weekly average
Circumference Measurements
- Use a tape measure, preferably a self-tightening one (e.g., Orbitape)
- Measure yourself instead of relying on someone else; this helps you build the skill and ensure accuracy in the future
- Take circumference measurements at the same time, preferably in the morning
- Stand in front of a mirror to ensure you measure the same spots each time
- Wrap the tape tightly but not to the point where it compresses the tissue
- Log the value to 0.1 of an inch or centimeter in Hevy
- Take measurements every two to three weeks
- For the chest, abdomen, and hips, make sure the tape doesn’t get twisted behind your back
- For each area, stand, tense your body, and measure at the widest point
- When measuring your chest, be careful not to let your lats flare
Body Fat
- Most body fat testing methods are inaccurate by a few percent
- DEXA scans tend to be more accurate but are not practical given the cost and time consumption
- Unless you plan on stepping on stage, don’t fixate too much on exact body fat numbers
- When monitoring fat loss progress, it’s better to rely on a combination of body weight, circumference measurements, and progress photos
The US Navy body fat calculator tends to be a somewhat accurate and practical option
