Ideal Body Weight - What is yours? 

Your ideal body weight is where you are healthiest

This isn't meant to sound controversial or trite, but rather - most Ideal Body Weight calculators are based on simple measurements of height. This is NOT a good way to estimate your ideal weight. This kind of measurement does not take into account bone density, muscle mass, or fat proportion. In addition to this, due to modern body image obsession, and psychological disorders (EDs), many people are unable to determine an accurate body weight. The calculator can help.

You should be aiming for a body fat percentage goal.

An ideal body fat percentage for men would be 10-14%, or 16-20% for women. If you know your current body fat percentage you would be able to calculate your ideal weight. But not many of us know this! See the body fat calculator for more.

Traditional Ideal Weight calculator

Here is a standard body weight calculator (take it with a grain of salt). Only suitable for those 4 foot and above (i.e. not children).

If you think you are overweight, and would like to lose fat, take a look at our TOP 5 Weight Loss programs, or have a look at some weight loss articles.

* To determine your frame size:
Grip your wrist using your thumb and index finger.
- If your finger and thumb don't touch you are a LARGE frame
- If your finger and thumb just touch you are a MEDIUM frame
- If your finger and thumb overlap you are a SMALL frame

This calculator will estimate your ideal weight range. As in the BMI Calculator, these readings are very generalised.
