Following is a simple rule many practitioners use to roughly calculate ideal weight, noting that age and other factors should be taken into consideration.
In kilograms: allowing 50 kg for 5 feet tall + 2.3 kg for each inch of height above 5 feet, ideal weight for a man 6 feet tall is 50 + (2.3 x 12) = 77.6 kg.
In pounds: allowing 110 lbs for 5 feet tall + 5 lbs for each inch of height above 5 feet, ideal weight for a man 6 feet tall is 110 + (5 x 12) = 170 lbs.
In kilograms: allowing 45.5 kg for 5 feet tall + 2.3 kg for each inch of height above 5 feet, ideal weight for a woman 5 feet 6 inches tall is 45.5 + (2.3 x 6) = 59.3 kg.
In pounds: allowing 100 lbs for 5 feet tall and 5 lbs for each inch above 5 feet, ideal weight for a woman 5 feet 6 inches tall is 100 + (5 x 6) = 130 lbs.
So for me, I’m 164cm (5,4”) I times 2.3 by 4 = 9.2
9.2 + 45.5
My ideal body weight is 54.7kg
So I have a lot to work to get near this but, my overall goal is 55kg to compliment my body height
Have a go and let me know if this is confusing. Would love some feedback, or even if you share with your friends, would love for this to go viral J
