What this means
There's no single 'ideal' weight — it's a range. These classic clinical formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, Hamwi) each estimate a healthy weight from your height and sex, and the healthy-BMI band gives a modern, evidence-based window. Your best weight depends on your build, muscle mass and health markers.
Recommendations
- Treat the healthy-BMI range as your target zone rather than chasing a single number.
- Muscular people can sit above these estimates while being lean and healthy — judge with body composition too.
Watch out
- These formulas were built for medication dosing and population averages, not athletes. Use them as a rough guide.
