How Much Should I Weigh?
Most everyone has at some point tried to lose weight, or at least known somebody who has. This is largely due to the perception of an “ideal” body weight, which is often based on what we see promoted through various media such as social media, TV, movies, magazines, etc.
Although ideal body weight (IBW) today is sometimes based on perceived visual appeal, IBW was actually introduced to estimate dosages for medical use, and the formulas that calculate it are not at all related to how a person looks at a given weight.
Note that IBW is not a perfect measurement. It does not consider the percentages of body fat and muscle in a person’s body. This means that it is possible for highly fit, healthy athletes to be considered overweight based on their IBW.
The Ideal Weight Calculator is a tool that estimates a healthy weight range for a person based on their height, gender, and age.
For a long time, experts have tried to find the perfect formula to calculate this ideal weight. Because there are different methods and no single agreed-upon answer, several formulas have become popular.
This calculator is useful because it doesn’t just show you one result. Instead, it uses all the major formulas and displays their results side-by-side. This allows you to see a range of healthy weights and compare the different estimates, giving you a more complete picture rather than a single number.
