Frequently Asked Questions – Healthy Weight Calculator
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a ratio of weight to height that categorizes weight status (underweight, normal, overweight, obese). Ideal weight uses specific formulas like Robinson or Devine that consider gender and height to calculate optimal weight. BMI gives ranges while ideal weight gives specific targets.
Body frame size affects healthy weight ranges significantly. Small-framed individuals typically have 10% lower ideal weights, while large-framed individuals may have 10% higher healthy weights. Frame size is determined by wrist circumference, elbow breadth, or shoulder width relative to height.
Calorie recommendations are estimates based on standard metabolic formulas (Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St Jeor). Individual metabolism can vary by ±20%. The general rule of 3,500 calories = 1 pound works for most people, but factors like genetics, hormones, and body composition affect actual results. Monitor progress and adjust as needed.
BMI has limitations for athletes and very muscular individuals because it doesn’t distinguish between muscle and fat mass. Muscle tissue is denser than fat, so muscular people may have “overweight” BMI despite being healthy. Body fat percentage, waist circumference, and overall health markers are better indicators for athletic populations.
Safe weight loss is 0.5-1 kg (1-2 pounds) per week, achieved through a 500-1000 calorie daily deficit. Safe weight gain is 0.25-0.5 kg (0.5-1 pound) per week with a 250-500 calorie surplus. Faster changes can lead to muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, or health complications. Gradual changes are more sustainable and healthier.
