Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the only formula for ideal weight?+
No, there are several formulas to estimate ideal weight (like Devine, Miller, and Hamwi). The Robinson formula is widely used and provides a good general estimate. These formulas are best used as a guideline, not a strict rule.
Does 'ideal weight' mean I will be healthy?+
'Ideal weight' is a general guideline based on height. True health is more complex and includes factors like body composition (muscle vs. fat), diet, exercise, and mental well-being. Use this result as a reference point, but focus on overall healthy habits rather than just a number on a scale.
What about different body frame sizes?+
This calculator does not explicitly account for different body frame sizes (small, medium, large). Your ideal weight might be slightly higher or lower than the calculated result depending on your frame. It's another reason why this tool should be used as a general guide.
