FAQ
How is ideal weight calculated?
Ideal weight = 22 x (height in meters)^2. BMI 22 is commonly used in Japan as the BMI value associated with the lowest health risk.
What is the healthy weight range based on?
The range is calculated using the standard healthy BMI band of 18.5 to 24.9, applying the same formula (BMI x height in meters squared) at each end.
Is this the same as the BMI calculator?
No. Our BMI calculator takes height and weight to compute your BMI. This tool works in the opposite direction: it takes only your height and tells you the weight needed to reach a target BMI.
Can I use this to set a diet goal weight?
Yes — it's a useful reference for picking a target within the healthy weight range. Keep in mind the ideal weight for you personally depends on factors like build and muscle mass, so treat it as a general guide.
Does this apply to athletes or people with high muscle mass?
Since this is based purely on height via BMI, it can diverge from actual body composition for people with a lot of muscle mass. A fuller assessment that also considers body fat percentage is a good idea in that case.
