How it works
How it works
The Ideal Weight Calculator uses the Devine formula, a well-established method for estimating an individual’s optimal weight based on their height. This approach acknowledges that body weight is relative to height and thus helps in deriving a more personalized target weight.
The formula is as follows:
- Ideal Weight (kg) = 50 + 2.3 x (Height in inches - 60)
In this formula, '50' represents a baseline weight for an individual with a height of 60 inches. The term '2.3' is a constant that represents the amount of weight in kilograms added for every inch above 60 inches of height. This methodology ensures that the calculation is adaptable to various height inputs, providing a tailored and practical ideal weight recommendation.
