Healthy Weight Guidelines
A healthy BMI range is 18.5–24.9. However, BMI does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. Athletes may have a high BMI but low body fat. Use multiple formulas together for a better picture of your healthy weight range.
What is the Healthy Weight Calculator?
The Healthy Weight Calculator provides a medically-backed weight range that is optimal for your specific height. It uses established Body Mass Index (BMI) thresholds to show you the minimum and maximum weight you should maintain to minimize the risk of chronic diseases.
How It Works (Formula)
A "normal" or "healthy" weight is defined by the World Health Organization as having a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. This calculator simply works backward from the standard BMI formula to find the precise weight boundaries for your entered height.
$$ \text{Healthy Range (kg)} = (18.5 \text{ to } 24.9) \times \text{Height (m)}^2 $$
Working backward from the standard BMI equation to find healthy weight limits.
How to Use It
