🧠 What is Ideal Weight?

Ideal weight refers to the body weight that is considered healthy for a person based on their height, gender, and body composition.

It is not just about looking fit — maintaining an ideal weight helps reduce the risk of health problems like:

• Heart disease

⚙️ How Does Ideal Weight Calculator Work?

This calculator uses a standard formula to estimate your ideal body weight.

👉 It takes into account:

• Your height
• Your gender

Based on this information, it calculates a recommended weight that is considered healthy.

🧮 Ideal Weight Formula

The calculator uses the Devine Formula, which is widely accepted in the medical field.

For Men:

Ideal Weight = 50 + 2.3 × (height in inches − 60)

For Women:

Ideal Weight = 45.5 + 2.3 × (height in inches − 60)

📊 Example Calculation

If a male has a height of 170 cm:

👉 Convert to inches → 170 ÷ 2.54 = 66.9 inches

👉 Apply formula:
50 + 2.3 × (66.9 − 60) ≈ 65.9 kg
