Ideal Body Weight
You may have noticed that the BMI calculator also has a function for Ideal Body Weight. There it is given as a single figure, and does not take into consideration your body type.
The calculator on this page determines the mean and the range of your ideal body weight depending on your sex, height, and body frame.
How Is Ideal Body Weight Measured?
Ideal Body Weight (men) = 50 + 2.3 ( Height(in) - 60 )
Ideal Body Weight (women) = 45.5 + 2.3 ( Height(in) - 60 )
This equation however, does not take your body type into consideration. The calculator below does.
