Pro Tips

  • !

    Consider Body Composition

    Ideal weight formulas don't account for muscle mass. Athletes may weigh more than the 'ideal' due to muscle.

  • !

    Use as a Guide

    These are estimates, not absolute targets. Your ideal weight depends on many factors including frame size and fitness level.

  • !

    Focus on Health

    Rather than fixating on a number, focus on overall health markers like energy levels, strength, and endurance.

    Consult Professionals
