How much should i weigh

Your optimal weight depends on your height.

You can use BMI - Body Mass Index to calculate your optimal weight.Healthy BMI range is 18.5 - 25.

Here is how you can calculate your optimal weight range.

Step 1:

Measure your height in meters.(Or measure your height in inches and convert it to meters by multiplying that by 0.0254)

Ex:If your height is 60 inches, your height is 60 x 0.0254 = 1.524m.

Step 2:

Now calculate the square of your height by multiplying your height by itself.

Ex:If your height is 1.524m, square of your height is 1.524 x 1.524 = 2.322576

Step 3:

Now we are almost done!

To calculate the minimum weight you should be at (in kilograms), multiply the number you obtained by 18.5


Ex:If you got 2.322576 as the square of your height, your minimum weight should be 2.322576 x 18.5 = 42.967656kg (let's round that up to 43 kg)

To calculate the maximum weight (in kilograms), multiply the number you obtained by 25.

Ex:If you got 2.322576 as the square of your height, your maximum weight is 2.322576 x 25 = 58.0644kg.

i.e If your height is 60 inches, your optimal weight range is 43 - 58 kilograms.

To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply it by 2.20462

Ex:58kg = 58 x 2.20462 = 127.86796 pounds.
