ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A nomograph type calculator which will use skinfold data and informa- tion relating to the actual body weight of a person to enable a person's ideal body weight to be determined. The nomograph comprises an elongated outer housing having open ends and a flat, translucent front face with a plurality of elongated, spaced, rectangular transparent windows therein. An indicator plate is slidable longitudinally within the housing adjacent the inner surface of the front face, the plate carrying a plurality of rows of indicia across a central portion thereof, each row of indicia adapted to be located and a portion thereof to be visible through a corresponding window. Two rows of indicia carry respectively calibrations representing a range of skinfold measurement values and a range of percent body fat values. These two rows of indicia and indicia markers associated with corresponding windows are arranged so that at any particular position of the plate in the housing the percentage body fat value is indicated through the one window for the skinfold measurement value indicated through the the other. Another row of indicia has calibrations representing a range of body weight values, these indicia being positioned and coordinated with a scale of percentage body fat indicia along the edge of the corresponding window so that positioning of the plate to align a value of percent body fat with a specific body weight value will give a visual indication of the ideal weight for that particular value of body weight and value of percentage body fat.
