You may calculate your Ideal Body Weight (IBW) using
the following formula:
Male IBW = 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch>60 inches (5 ft) tall.
Female IBW = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch>60 inches tall.
(To convert kg to pounds: multiply your result by 2.2 to obtain your
ideal body weight in pounds)
NOTE: This formula does not take a person's frame size into consideration.
Example:
If you are a 5 ft. 4 in. tall female, your ideal body weight should be: (45.5 + 2.3 x 4) kg =54.7 kg
or (54.7 x 2.2) lb. = 120 lb.
