What Is Ideal Body Weight?
Ideal body weight (IBW) is the weight range considered healthiest for a person based primarily on their height. Unlike BMI, which uses a single number, ideal weight is presented as a range to reflect natural body variation. Several formulas exist to estimate IBW, with the most commonly used being the Hamwi, Devine, and Robinson formulas.

Why Ideal Weight Is a Range, Not a Single Number
Two people of the same height can have very different healthy weights depending on their muscle mass, bone density, and body frame size. That is why the result is shown as a healthy range rather than one specific number. Falling anywhere within this range is considered healthy.
Tips to Reach Your Ideal Weight
- Focus on gradual changes — aim for 0.5 to 1 kg of weight loss or gain per week.
- Combine a balanced diet with regular strength training and cardio.
- Track progress using both the scale and body measurements (waist, hips).
- Prioritize sleep and stress management — both affect body weight significantly.
💡 Tip: The number on the scale is just one measure of health. How you feel, your energy levels, and your fitness performance are equally important indicators of wellbeing.
