Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the various ideal weight formulas?

Different formulas use slightly different calculations. The Devine formula is commonly used for medical purposes, Robinson is considered more accurate for general populations, and Miller offers an updated calculation. Our calculator shows results from all three formulas to give you a comprehensive range.

How do I determine my body frame size?

Wrap your thumb and middle finger around your opposite wrist. If they overlap, you likely have a small frame. If they just meet, you have a medium frame. If they don't meet, you have a large frame. Alternatively, measure your wrist circumference: for women, under 5.5" indicates small frame, 5.5"-5.75" medium, over 5.75" large. For men, under 6.5" indicates small frame, 6.5"-7" medium, over 7" large.

Is ideal weight the same for everyone of the same height?

No, ideal weight varies based on gender, body frame, muscle mass, and other factors. Women typically have a lower ideal weight range than men of the same height. Those with larger frames or more muscle mass will have a higher healthy weight range than those with smaller frames.

How often should I check my ideal weight?

Your ideal weight calculation only changes if your height changes (which typically stops in adulthood) or if you want to recalculate using different parameters. However, monitoring your actual weight against your ideal range can be done weekly or monthly as part of a health maintenance routine.
