Why Is There No Single "Ideal" Weight?

The concept of a single "ideal" weight is a myth because it doesn't account for individual differences in body composition, frame size, muscle mass, and age. That's why health professionals prefer to use a **healthy weight range**. Our calculator presents ranges from several recognized formulas to provide a well-rounded perspective.

The Formulas We Use

  • G. J. Hamwi Formula (1964): Historically used for medication dosages.
  • B. J. Devine Formula (1974): Similar to Hamwi, originally for clinical use.
  • J. D. Robinson Formula (1983): A modification of the Devine formula.
  • D. R. Miller Formula (1983): Another modification of the Devine formula.
  • Healthy BMI Range: We also calculate the weight range that corresponds to a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9, which is the most widely accepted indicator of a healthy weight for the general population.

By looking at the average of these results, you can get a reliable estimate of a healthy weight target for your body.
