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 .
