How much should a 48-year-old man weigh?

Answer 1

It largely depends on your height and body composition. Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. It's important to maintain a healthy body mass index of between 18.5 and 24.9. The body mass index is calculated from one's height and weight. There might be a little overestimation of body fat by this method if you are of a muscular build and a lot of your weight is contributed by the muscles.

Otherwise BMI could be a very good indicator of body fat. You can use an online source to calculate your BMI by feeding in your height and weight and finding out for yourself how much you need to weigh.

It depends on what your height is. But if you are an average height (5 foot 6) the average weight is about 155.
