How the Ideal Weight Calculator works
The Devine formula, originally developed for medication dosing, estimates ideal body weight from height above five feet:
Men: 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feetWomen: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet
Because a single number can't fit every body type, the calculator also shows the healthy range: the weights that give a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 at your height. Frame size, muscle mass and age all affect what's healthy for you, so treat both numbers as guides rather than targets.
