How ideal weight is estimated

This calculator uses the Devine formula as a midpoint estimate and then provides a small range around it to keep the output more practical and less rigid.

Why weight ranges matter

Healthy body weight is influenced by frame size, muscle mass, and genetics. A useful calculator should suggest a range rather than a single fixed number.
