What is 'ideal weight'?
Ideal weight is a healthy target range for your height. We show the classic Devine formula plus the healthy range based on a normal BMI (18.5–24.9).
Remember: it's a guide
Body composition matters more than a single number. Muscle, frame size and health all play a role, so treat this as a helpful reference, not a strict rule.
Frequently asked questions
Which number should I aim for?
Anywhere inside the healthy BMI range is generally fine; the Devine value is a classic midpoint.
Does it differ for men and women?
Yes — the Devine formula uses a slightly different baseline for each.
