Ideal Weight Calculator

About Ideal Weight Calculator

Ideal Weight Calculator - simple but useful app, which allows you to calculate your ideal weight using following methods:

- The Brock formula:
Ideal weight for men = (height in centimeters – 100) х 1,15.
Ideal weight for women = (height in centimeters – 110) х 1,15.
One of the most reasonable methods for calculating the ideal weight is the Brock formula. It takes into account the ratio of weight and height of a person. With age, the weight of a woman and a man should gradually increase - this is a normal physiological process. Kilograms, which some may consider "superfluous", in fact, such may not be.

- The dream of Lorentz (for calculation you must know only your height):
Ideal weight = (height (сm) – 100) – (height (сm) – 150) / 2
At first sight, the formula is too demanding on weight in comparison with the improved Brock formula. The formula indicates more precisely the ideal weight when you were eighteen. If you are frustrated with kilograms, then just use another formula.

- Table of Egorov-Levitsky:
In this case, any formulas are not required. You just need to know your height, weigh yourself and compare the information with the table.Please note that here is not the ideal weight, but the maximum !.
Physicians Egorov and Levitsky took into account everything that is possible: sex, age, height. In our opinion, this is the most complete and balanced approach to the ideal weight.

- Quetelet calculation or body mass index (BMI)
Body mass index (BMI): weight in kilograms / (height in meters x height in meters).
This formula estimates the already available weight and indicates in which direction it should be changed.The result is compared with the table. Plus BMI in that it does not point to a mythical ideal, but estimates the real weight and height.

- Formula Cooper
Ideal weight for women (kg): (height (cm) х 3,5 / 2,54 - 108) х 0,453.
Ideal weight for men (kg): (height (cm) х 4,0 / 2,54 - 128) х 0,453.
The Cooper formula is one of the most difficult formulas for determining the ideal weight. In this case you must use The Ideal Weight Calculator for sure. However, this method is based on growth alone and has a perceptible error.

The ideal weight is the one you had when you were 18 years old. It is advisable to save it all life. But if you have come off the ideal for the past 15-20 years or more, do not try to return to it at any cost. After all, every 10 years of life energy consumption of the body is reduced by about 10%. For every 10 years we add about 10% (5-7 kg): First from the ideal weight, later from the one we have. You should lose weight carefully, focusing on the same 10%, only for a year.
Therefore, you need to calculate your new ideal weight according to one of the formulas.

Control and improve your weight, be happy and healthy
