How It Works
Healthy weight range is calculated using the BMI formula applied in reverse: weight = BMI × height². A BMI of 18.5–24.9 corresponds to the healthy range, giving a minimum and maximum weight for your height.
Quick Reference
175cm height
BMI 18.5-24.9
56.6–76.4 kg
165cm height
BMI 18.5-24.9
50.4–67.9 kg
180cm height
BMI 18.5-24.9
59.9–80.9 kg
Tips & Shortcuts
Use this as a guideline, not a rigid target. Body composition (muscle vs fat) matters more than the number.
Waist circumference is a useful complement: below 35 inches for women, 40 inches for men reduces metabolic risk.
If you are at the boundary, focus on fitness markers like blood pressure and cholesterol rather than exact weight.
Common Mistakes
Treating ideal weight as a single target number
Use the full range. Healthy weight spans roughly 30–40 lbs for most heights — you have flexibility within the range.
Ignoring muscle mass
Muscular people may exceed the upper healthy weight limit while having excellent body composition. BMI and healthy weight are screening tools, not diagnoses.
Frequently Asked Questions
The healthy weight range is derived from BMI 18.5–24.9 applied to your height: weight = BMI × height² (in meters). This gives a range, not a single target.
BMI is a useful screening tool but does not distinguish muscle from fat. It can misclassify muscular individuals and underestimate risk in those with low muscle mass.
Metabolic markers — blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, waist circumference — matter as much as weight. Focus on those alongside the scale number.
