What formulas are used to calculate ideal weight?

The calculator uses four popular formulas: Robinson (1983), Miller (1983), Devine (1974), and Hamwi (1964). Each formula gives its own result, the calculator shows the average of all formulas.

Why do results from different formulas differ?

Different formulas were developed at different times and based on different studies. They take into account various factors, so results may differ by 2-5 kg. The average gives a more accurate estimate.

What weight is considered ideal?

Ideal weight is the weight at which the body functions optimally. Usually it corresponds to a BMI in the range of 18.5-24.9. However, ideal weight can vary depending on body type and muscle mass.

Does the calculator account for muscle mass?

Ideal weight formulas do not directly account for muscle mass. If you have developed musculature, your weight may be higher than the "ideal" according to formulas, but this is normal.

How to use the calculator results?

Use the average of all formulas as a guide. Keep in mind that ideal weight is a range, not an exact number. It's also important to consider overall well-being and lean muscle proportion.
