Finding Your Ideal Weight
There is no single "perfect" weight, but you can estimate a healthy target range based on your height and gender. This calculator shows both the Devine formula result (widely used in medicine) and a healthy weight range derived from a normal BMI.
Treat these as guidelines rather than strict rules. Factors like muscle mass, frame size, and overall fitness matter too. A range, rather than a single number, is usually the most realistic and healthy goal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is ideal weight calculated?
This calculator uses the Devine formula based on your height and gender, and also shows a healthy range derived from a normal BMI (18.5–24.9) for your height.
Should I aim for an exact ideal weight?
No. A healthy weight range is more realistic than a single number, since muscle mass and body frame vary from person to person.
