What is the Ideal Weight?
The concept of "Ideal Body Weight" (IBW) was originally created for medical dosing, but has become a standard health metric. Our calculator uses the three most widely recognized medical formulas (Devine, Robinson, and Miller) to give you a precise target.
Keep in mind that these formulas are based purely on height and gender. They do not account for muscle mass or bone density. Athletes with high muscle mass will often weigh more than their "ideal" weight while still being perfectly healthy.
