Wat is Ideal Weight Calculator?

An ideal weight calculator estimates a healthy target weight range using standard formulas (Hamwi, Devine, Robinson) based on height and sex. All formulas are approximations — individual body composition varies widely.

Veelgestelde vragen

▾

Is ideal weight just one number?

No, it's a range (BMI 18.5-24.9). "Ideal" varies by age, sex, muscle mass, bone density.

Which formula is most accurate?

Devine is popular. But consider frame size, muscle mass, sport training. BMI is rough starting point.

Can muscular people have "overweight" BMI?

Yes. Muscle is denser than fat. Body fat % is better than BMI for athletes.
