1. What is the Ideal Weight Formula?

The ideal weight formula calculates a target weight based on a desired Body Mass Index (BMI) and height. It helps determine a healthy weight range for an individual's height.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ideal weight formula:

\[ \text{Ideal Weight} = \text{BMI} \times \text{height}^2 \]

Where:

\( BMI \) — Desired Body Mass Index (typically 18.5-24.9 kg/m²)
\( height \) — Height in meters

Explanation: The formula calculates the weight that would result in the specified BMI for the given height.

3. Importance of Ideal Weight Calculation

Details: Knowing your ideal weight range helps in setting healthy weight goals, maintaining proper nutrition, and reducing risks associated with being underweight or overweight.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter desired BMI (typically 18.5-24.9 for healthy range) and height in meters. All values must be valid (BMI > 15, height > 0.5m).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What BMI should I use for ideal weight?
A: Generally, a BMI between 18.5-24.9 is considered healthy. 22 is often used as a midpoint.

Q2: How do I convert height from cm to meters?
A: Divide centimeters by 100 (e.g., 175 cm = 1.75 m).

Q3: Does this account for body composition?
A: No, this is a general calculation. Athletes with high muscle mass may weigh more than this suggests.

Q4: Is this formula suitable for children?
A: No, BMI calculations for children use different percentile charts based on age and sex.

Q5: What's the difference between ideal weight and healthy weight range?
A: Ideal weight is a specific point, while healthy weight range is between BMI 18.5-24.9 for adults.
