Ideal Weight Calculator
This ideal weight calculator provides a healthy weight range based on your height and gender, using Body Mass Index (BMI) standards. It helps you understand a target weight for optimal health.
How the Ideal Weight Calculator Works
The calculator uses BMI to determine a healthy weight range. BMI is calculated as weight in kg divided by height in meters squared. A normal BMI is 18.5 to 24.9, so the ideal weight range is derived from this for your height. Gender is included for completeness but does not affect the BMI calculation.
Steps to Use
- Select your gender.
- Enter your height in centimeters.
- Click "Calculate Ideal Weight" to see the range.
Accuracy and Limitations
