How much should I weigh?
It is important that you maintain your
perspective with regards to body weight. Simply use body weight as a
tool to indicate health and aim to keep it within a healthy range. Check
your BMI, which is favored by many health professionals.
It’s worth getting your body fat percentage measured
to ensure that you are indeed in good health. The scales do not
distinguish between fat and muscle. It’s not so much about how much
should you weigh, as it is about ideal body fat percentage.
Weight is a very crude method of
determining health or even beauty. Body fat percentage is a much better
indicator. Therefore, ideally anyone tracking their “weight” should
ideally do so through regular body fat percentage measurements, which
can be inexpensively done at fitness clubs, gyms or your local college/
university, or use this body fat calculator to get an estimate now.
Remember that each of us is built differently. While your friend may
be the same height as you, they may have a different size frame,
different bone density, muscle to fat ratio, and body fat distribution
(learn more about body types and )body shape. So don’t try to compare yourself with others. You want to achieve the healthiest, happiest weight for you – not them!
Use the calorie calculator to determine your personal calorie requirements.
