Common Ways People Use This Calculator
Tips for a Healthy Weight Journey
Use Ranges, Not Single Numbers
Ideal weight formulas provide estimates—aim for a healthy range rather than one exact number.
Track Trends, Not Daily Weight
Body weight naturally fluctuates due to food, water, and activity. Monitor weekly averages for better insights.
Combine with BMI and Body Fat %
Weight alone doesn't reflect body composition. Use BMI and body fat percentage for a more complete assessment.
Prioritize Strength and Health
Building muscle, staying active, and eating well are more important than reaching a specific number on the scale.
Measure Consistently
Weigh yourself at the same time of day, preferably in the morning, for more consistent and reliable results.
Focus on Sustainable Habits
Healthy eating, regular exercise, quality sleep, and hydration are the keys to maintaining your ideal weight.
Guides and charts
Healthy weight for Indians, by height
The healthy BMI range in the calculator follows the WHO international scale (18.5 to 24.9). Indian guidelines set the healthy range lower, at 18.0 to 22.9, so the healthy weight for your height is also lower.
| Height | Healthy weight (WHO) | Healthy weight (Indian cut-offs) |
|---|---|---|
| 150 cm | 41.6 – 56.0 kg | 40.5 – 51.5 kg |
| 155 cm | 44.4 – 59.8 kg | 43.2 – 55.0 kg |
| 160 cm | 47.4 – 63.7 kg | 46.1 – 58.6 kg |
| 165 cm | 50.4 – 67.8 kg | 49.0 – 62.3 kg |
| 170 cm | 53.5 – 72.0 kg | 52.0 – 66.2 kg |
| 175 cm | 56.7 – 76.3 kg | 55.1 – 70.1 kg |
| 180 cm | 59.9 – 80.7 kg | 58.3 – 74.2 kg |
| 185 cm | 63.3 – 85.2 kg | 61.6 – 78.4 kg |
Weights are worked out from BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)². The Indian cut-offs come from the 2009 consensus guidelines for Asian Indians, which classify a BMI of 23 to 24.9 as overweight and 25 or more as obesity.
