Ideal Weight FAQ

Which formula is best?

No single formula is best for everyone. The Devine formula is most commonly used in hospitals.

Does muscle weight make me heavier?

Yes. Muscle is denser than fat. Athletes may weigh more than "ideal" but still be very healthy.

What about body frame size?

These formulas don't account for frame size. Larger frames may be heavier at a healthy weight.
