Remember that system I came up with for calculating body fat percentage using a gallon jug in a swimming pool? I always let the computer do the calculations for me—I have a little script that I run that updates my weight graph. But not everyone is as geeky as that, and formula is not that simple, and when you add units conversion in it gets downright hairy.

I finally figured out how to generate a nomogram. Now you have no excuses.
