Your Ideal Weight Results.
Clinical formulas calculate your healthy body weight range based on height and body structure.

Height-indexed weight equation.
How Ideal Weight Range is Determined
There is no single "perfect" number when it comes to body weight. Instead, medical professionals specify a **healthy range** based on height. CalorieBlueprint computes this range by using the World Health Organization's bounds for a healthy Body Mass Index (18.5 to 24.9).
The equations to determine your upper and lower limits are:
- Minimum Healthy Weight: 18.5 × (height in meters)²
- Maximum Healthy Weight: 24.9 × (height in meters)²
Traditional Clinical Formulas
Historically, doctors used explicit mathematical models to estimate a single "ideal weight" value for drug dosing. While less flexible than BMI ranges, they provide historical perspective:
Devine Formula (1974)
Most common equation for medical dosing calculations.
Men: 50.0 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet
Women: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet
Robinson Formula (1983)
Modifies the Devine equation to slightly alter weight rates.
Men: 52.0 kg + 1.9 kg per inch over 5 feet
Women: 49.0 kg + 1.7 kg per inch over 5 feet
