The most accurate assessment of your ideal weight takes into account the composition of your body - how much of your weight is lean body mass (muscle and bone) and how much is body fat. For optimum health, body fat should be no more than 20% of total body weight for men and 30% for women.
Ideal Weight Table
The following table is a guide to a healthy weight range for each height and gender. The table does not take into consideration your age or your frame size. A person with a petite physique (small frame) should aim for an ideal weight at the lower end of the range and a person of the same height but with a large frame could quite satisfactorily weigh in at the top of the range.
