What is the ideal weight for a 5ft 7in 27 year old Filipino male?

Answer 1

To determine your ideal weight use the BMI calculator. These can be found online, but there is a simple equation to determining your own BMI.

BMI stands for body mass index. This will give you a number to aim for so you are sure you are at a healthy weight for your current height.

BMI = ((Your weight in pounds) / (Height in inches x Height in inches)) x 703

So, take your weight in pounds, divide that by your height in inches squared, and multiply your total by 703. This will give you a number, which is your BMI. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. If your BMI is below 18.5, you are underweight for your height. If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight. If your BMI is above 30, you are considered obese.

BMI = (Weight in Pounds

(Height in inches) x (Height in inches)) x 703
