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.

Are classic ideal-weight formulas accurate?
They are rough. BMI ranges plus body composition are more practical.
