Frequently Asked Questions

What is ideal body weight?+
Ideal body weight is an estimated healthy weight range based on height and gender. Four common formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, Hamwi) give slightly different results. Use the average as a general guideline.
Are ideal weight formulas accurate?+
These formulas are rough estimates and do not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. A muscular person may weigh more than the ideal weight yet still be very healthy. Use the BMI range as a supplementary metric.
How do I know my body frame size?+
Wrap your thumb and index finger around your wrist. If they overlap: small frame. If they touch: medium frame. If they don't touch: large frame. You can also measure your wrist circumference — less than 6.5 inches indicates a small frame.
