Ideal body weight formulas give a rough target weight for your height. This uses the widely cited Devine formula. Bear in mind that build, muscle and frame size all matter, so a healthy weight is really a range around this figure rather than one exact number. It is best used as a reference point, not a strict goal.

Frequently asked questions
Is there one correct ideal weight?
No. Formulas like Devine give a single figure, but a healthy weight spans a range. Body composition and fitness matter more than hitting an exact number.
Should I use this or BMI?
Use both as guides. BMI checks weight relative to height in categories; the ideal weight formula gives a target figure. Neither replaces professional advice.
