About
Several formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, Hamwi) give different 'ideal' weights based on your height and sex. The healthy range is shown as a span rather than a single number, since real bodies vary.
How to use
- Enter your height and sex.
- Pick metric or imperial.
- See the range from the four formulas.
FAQ
Which formula is most accurate?+
All four were designed for medication dosing, not body image. They give similar but slightly different numbers. The range across them is more useful than any single value.
Why does this not consider muscle?+
Height-based formulas can't. A muscular person can be heavier than 'ideal' and still healthy. BMI has the same limitation.
