How to Estimate a Healthy Weight Range

A useful “ideal weight” is a sustainable range for your height — not a single magical number.

From BMI to weight range

Multiply a target BMI by height(m) squared. Many Asian adult guidelines treat ~18.5–23.9 as a common healthy BMI band.

Look beyond the scale

  • Body-fat percentage can differ at the same BMI
  • Waist size adds metabolic context
  • Strength training may raise weight while improving health

Set a steady pace

Aim for gradual change (~0.5–1 kg/month for many people) and support it with BMR and protein planning.
