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.
