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.
