Ideal Weight FAQs
Why are there different ideal weight formulas?
Different formulas account for various factors like body frame, muscle mass, and population differences. Using multiple formulas provides a more comprehensive range.
How does body frame size affect ideal weight?
People with larger frames can healthily carry more weight due to greater bone structure and muscle mass, while smaller-framed individuals have lower optimal weights.
Is BMI the best measure of healthy weight?
BMI is a useful screening tool but doesn't account for muscle mass. Athletes may have high BMI but low body fat. It's best used with other measurements.
Should age affect my ideal weight?
While some weight gain with age is normal, maintaining a BMI between 18.5-24.9 is generally recommended for adults of all ages.
What if I'm muscular and my BMI is high?
If you have high muscle mass, focus on body fat percentage instead of BMI. A body fat test can provide more accurate health assessment.
