UMMS: Ideal Weight Calculator

What is your ideal weight range?

Begin here:

Use the Ideal Weight Calculator to determine whether or not your weight and height are in your ideal range.

To measure your frame size, put your thumb and index finger around your wrist. If your fingers overlap, click "small"; if your fingers touch, click "medium"; if your fingers do not touch, click "large."

This test should be used as a rough guideline only. This calculator cannot factor in lean muscle mass or body fat percentages and therefore should only be used to begin an investigation into your dietary and exercise health. This tool is based on information found in The Section of Diabetes and Clinical Nutrition, University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles.
