Ideal Body Weight Calculation
Use this to calculate your ideal body weight
1. First you need to determine your body frame type. To determine this, wrap your right hand around your left wrist. If your thumb and index finger overlap each other you have a small frame type. If your thumb and index finger slightly touch, you have a medium frame type, and if your thumb and index figure do not touch, you have a large frame type.
2. If you are a woman add 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of your height, then add 5 pounds for each inch thereafter.
Letʼs take me for example. I am 6 feet 1 inches tall.
Step 1) I wrap my hand around my wrist and note that my fingers do not touch so I have a large frame.
Step 2) I add 100 pounds for the first 5 feet, then 6 pounds for the next 13 inches to reach 6 feet 1 inches.
100 +( 6 x 13) = 178
Step 3) I then add 10 more pounds because I have a large frame 178 + 10 = 188
So 188 pounds is my ideal body weight.
If you are a man add 106 pounds for the first 5 feet of your height, then add 6 pounds for each inch thereafter.
3. Once you come up with this number, add the following based on your frame type you figured out in step 1. Add 10 pounds for a large frame size, and subtract 10 pounds for a small frame size. If you are a medium frame size donʼt add anything extra.
