Ideal Weight Calculator FAQ
How accurate are ideal weight calculators?
Ideal weight formulas provide a good starting point but are estimates. Our calculator uses multiple scientific formulas and averages them for better accuracy. Your ideal weight also depends on muscle mass, bone density, and health goals.
Which formula is most accurate?
Different formulas work better for different people. The Robinson formula is often preferred for average builds, while the Devine formula is commonly used in medical settings. Our calculator shows all results so you can see the range.
How do I determine my frame size?
Frame size is typically determined by wrist circumference relative to height. Small frame: wrist measurement is small relative to height. Large frame: wrist measurement is large relative to height. Medium frame falls in between.
Should I aim for the lowest weight in my ideal range?
Not necessarily. The ideal weight range gives you flexibility. Consider your muscle mass, activity level, and how you feel. Athletic individuals may be at the higher end due to muscle mass, which is healthy.
How long should it take to reach my ideal weight?
Safe weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. For weight gain, aim for 0.5-1 pound per week. The timeline depends on how far you are from your goal and your approach to diet and exercise.
What if my current weight is already in the ideal range?
Great! Focus on maintaining your weight through healthy eating and regular exercise. You might also consider body composition goals like building muscle or reducing body fat percentage while staying within your healthy weight range.
