Ideal Weight Chart

To get the ideal weight for both men and women a measurement is necessary as that is the way by which you can tell that your weight is ideal or not. Today, a method is used to get the ideal weight which is known as BMI (Body Mass Index). BMI is more accurate reflection of body fat comparison to weight and height measurements. As BMI is subject to errors such as it is maximumly seen with body builders.

Even the loss or gain of weight can be classified by percentage of total body weight and even after that we reach to the conclusion, we have lost or gain some weight.

To calulate the weight:

Take weight that is lost, divided by previous or actual weight and also by 100. Forr example, if you have lost 20 pounds by 140 lbs -120 lbs then you can calculate by this way, 20/140X100 means you have lost 14% of total body weight. To get the obesity, you need to classify the percent over the ideal body weight. To get the difference between the ideal or total body weight, you have to understand that an ideal weight is divided from the actual weight. Now, divide that difference with ideal weight and multiply with 100, this is your overweight percentage. For example: 150-120=30
30/120X100=25% overweight.

Get the Desirable Body Weight- You can also get the desirable body weight even the table is unavailable. For women, 100 pounds of weight for 5 feet height and if have additional height then 5 pounds for every addiotional inch. For Men, 106pounds are for 5 feet height and 6 pounds for every additional inch of weight. You can aslo add the 10% of large frame size and can also subtract the 10% of small frame size.
